I am a firm believer that art stems from a well rounded lifestyle. So, while I identify primarily as a writer, I am also proud to be a home-school graduate, song-writer, vocalist and guitarist, and blue-stripe (Taekwon-do). I love hiking and hunting in the wilds of my home state, New Mexico. I am also an avid reader—since early childhood—with a particular fondness for mysteries, thrillers, suspense novels, and anything even remotely involving Sherlock Holmes.
Although I’ve been writing seriously since the age of sixteen, I’ve spent the last several years obtaining both a B.A. and (as of Spring 2013, barring any unfortunate setbacks) an M.A. in English Literature at Eastern New Mexico University, during which time I have edited the campus literary journal, El Portal, twice (Fall 2010 and Fall 2012, respectively). My thesis focuses on female detectives in popular fiction (I did mention my obsession with mysteries, did I not?).
My current writing projects include an epic fantasy, REMEMBER THE ALAMOK, the first in a series that my co-author, A.L. Brown, and I are currently in the process of showing off to agents. My personal projects include a Mystery, THEY CALLED HER LA LLORONA, set in my home state, New Mexico, and an Urban Fantasy, THE MONSTER IN MY POCKET, set in one of my favorite places: Denver, Colorado.

When I'm not writing stories, I'm usually writing and/or performing songs with my bluegrass/folk band, Foley Bluegrass or my eclectic-mix-of-random-musical-stylings-I-love, Bentley Ground.Or drinking coffee, because coffee is a pastime unto itself.
