I write epic and urban fantasy, and I’ve completed the first draft of what might charitably be called a paranormal crime novel.

I blog about writing, wineries, and as many nature parks and historic sites as I can visit. I’m happily single. I’m a Christian. I’m cat-mom to Miss Eowyn Naughtypaws and her brother Strider.

I love living in the country. I’m incredibly clumsy. I love organizing things–I think filing is fun, I color-code my closet, and I’ve been known to act as an organizational consultant for friends and family. (At least, I think they still count as friends…) In fact, about a year ago I started using the Getting Things Done method and efficiented my way out of a job.

Thankfully that opened the door for me to take some bold career steps and I now describe myself as the poorest I’ve ever been and the happiest I’ve ever been. I spend my time doing historical research and blogging, and sharing my passion for history with others.

I enjoy hiking (except for the inevitable encounters with spiders) and reading (anything I can get my hands on, but mostly fantasy & paranormal fiction and historical nonfiction), and can often be found singing at the top of my lungs.
