About

Plans the jet set life for others as an aircraft scheduler by day and coordinates a family life for her fiancée, two kids and a dog by night. Writing is a passion that I can’t let go of. I struggle to make time to achieve my writing goals, but I did become a published author in 2017 by with my first book, The Hard Way.

I have lived in Minnesota all of my life and continue to love the four seasons and ten thousand lakes the state is known for. Some of my favorite places to write and create are by many of those lakes. Be sure to pick up a copy my book, The Hard Way, available on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.
