She has wanted to be a writer since she was three years old, watching her mother type newspaper articles on an old Royal manual typewriter. She is married to her high school sweetheart, Don, a true romantic hero cleverly disguised as a mild-mannered programmer analyst, and has a three-year-old daughter who watches
