- I first wanted to publish a book when I was in second grade. The first story I wrote was about a girl named Ruby, who was so mean everyone called her Rudy
- I married my high school sweetheart in 2003. The Texan (him) married the yankee (me) and he’s pretty much my favorite
- Coffee over tea, always. Although I love a good matcha latte. Especially this kind I can get locally that has strawberry preserves added in… stop it right now
- My best time of day to write is in the morning, which feels like a cruel twist of fate, because I have the hardest time getting up early
- I have one dog and three cats. Golden retriever, tuxedo cat, black cat, and ginger cat. Honestly never expected to have so many pets as once, but when the cat distribution system picks you, saying no isn’t really an option
- Contemporary romance is my favorite genre, but my favorite books of all time are actually historical romance
- I have three daughters and they are each so unique and wonderful. One is into theatre and about a hundred different fandoms, one makes the cutest crocheted stuffies you ever did see, and one loves to draw, specifically fashion. They all love Taylor Swift (okay, I do too)
- I don’t watch much TV, but when I do, I’m probably re-watching The Office or Gilmore Girls
- I name all of my houseplants
- I wrote my first full novel in 2009 without knowing a single thing about HOW to write. It was absolutely terrible, but it also proved that I could do it. Thankfully, I’ve improved a lot since then!
