Author has written 39 stories for Mentalist.

I’m a married mom with four fabulous kids. It's been the wildest ride of my life—and I’m a roller coaster nut.

I love good television and good movies and good books and am perfectly capable of becoming completely immersed in all three. I like fanfiction because I can read about my favorite tv & movie characters in a wide spectrum of different stories. And, reading and writing it is great therapy.

My tv favorites are Castle, Person of Interest, NCIS, Warehouse 13, Elementary, Bones and The Mentalist. I also lament the loss of Human Target and Intelligence. And I will always, always be waiting for Firefly to make a comeback or at least show up in Serenity II.

I love action films that grab me by the throat, movie classics to wile away a rainy afternoon, smart chick flicks that steal my breath away one minute and make me laugh like a happy drunk the next, and any film that can leave me asking questions and thinking through the characters and events for days after.

I don't have a favorite author; my tastes are eclectic as long as the writing is strong and fluid and the story is intriguing. I believe to write well one must read well.

My favorite quote: “All who wander are not lost.” -J.R.R. Tolkien

Here’s to the wandering!
