Author bio

My imagination has kept me entertained as far back as I can remember. Day and night, I fabricate tales causing piles of paper to accumulate. Mostly scrap pieces of paper with "good ideas." If not at work or writing, you may find me in the garden, walking in woodlands, or researching a new theological idea. My husband and I enjoy building projects together, and we are famous for dreaming up new ideas before finishing old ones. It’s a miracle when something gets completely completed. Although raised in Kansas and aged in Louisiana, I most often reside in my imaginary world. Writingimagined.com Christian Romance Novel Seat 2F can be found on Amazon.
