Basics

BIRTHDAY: May 5, 1975

HOME TOWN: Tucumcari, New Mexico – The landscape is pretty until you’re used to it.

I'm a 1993 graduate of American School. My siblings home school as did I. I did some external studies through Lee University (Cleveland, TN) and some additional classes at Mesalands Community College. I completed the novel writing course from Writer's Digest School. I've had my writings published in the Church of God Evangel, Pentecostal Evangel, General Assembly Today, and a couple of other periodicals. I'm working on my first novel. Since June 6, 2001, I have been employed by Eastern Plains Head Start (hired as a Data Entry Clerk, promoted to Technology Coordinator, and then to Technology Specialist).

Favorite Bible Verses

Jeremiah 29:11 (in the NIV) and Proverbs 3:5-6 (in the KJV).
