Right after I graduated from college, where I was the news editor of the University Star, I went to work for a small newspaper in San Marcos, Texas. It was so small that often I was the only person there.

During the next ten years, I worked for several different newspapers, all with the American Publishing Company. I have had short stories published in the Hillside Scene and the Strain. Also, I have won the Outsiders Ink Short Story Contest, and have been asked to be a regular contributor to the online magazine.

I've also done public relations for many non-profit organizations, and take great pleasure in being an active part of my community.

Now I write a weekly newsletter for my church, and I am a manager for Amazing Instant Romance, part of America Online's Amazing Instant Novelist area. There, I have been unofficially dubbed the Chief of the Grammar Police.

I have a bachelor's degree in English and Journalism from Southwest Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas. It was the crowning achievement of my life, while my two wonderful children looked on. I live in Austin.
