I began a love affair with stories as the youngest girl of a homeschooled family outside Beeville, Texas. The first story I remember falling in love with was Peter Pan, promising in a land faraway I would never grow up to become an adult without a joy for play. Instead, I found a joy for playing with words, and succeeded in failing to grow up properly.

Our world was small; stories were my only window into an outside world. Slowly my world widened. The door of school shut to me, I traveled through side rooms to become a dancer, reluctant exerciser, janitor, waitress, and day care worker. The walls of my world collapsed when I left home for college at seventeen to become an adult – becoming a world traveler, a teacher, a copywriter, and a professor along the way.

I graduated from the Master of Fine Arts program at Texas State University – my calves now unhappily well-defined from climbing hills to class in Flowers Hall. I have a finished memoir, and am working on both a murder mystery and a romance novel. In the meantime, I challenge myself to see how my ideas and feelings are received on the multimedia-obsessed web. If you would like to know more, feel free to ask!
