She met
the love of her life in the loft of a barn. Yep, that set up some teasing from
her father. They have been happily married since 2003. They have four children
and all are loving and supportive of her writing. Her oldest daughter is following in her
footsteps as a writer adding her own illustrations. She refuses to comment on
the trolls in the closets and under the beds. She is active in her church, has
compassion for others, and a love for all life brings.
