About the Author
Like my protagonist, I grew up on a dairy farm in north-central Alabama and earned an accounting degree from the University of South Alabama in Mobile. Many of my early experiences of home life I share with Sam. I also have the same personality profile on the Myers Briggs type indicator - INFJ-A - and the same conflict between my intellectual and emotional selves.
Since earning my degree, I have worked for a variety of businesses, small and large, as well as the district attorney’s offices in two counties in Alabama, and now reside once again in North Alabama, near Huntsville, with my husband.
If I’m not writing, you will most likely find me outdoors. I enjoy hiking, camping, traveling to beautiful places, reading, photography and, as another creative outlet, creating videos on YouTube.
