I graduated from Brigham Young University–Idaho with a B.A. in English focused on creative writing and editing. One of my YA contemporary fantasy short stories was published in an anthology titled Small Shifts: Short Stories of Fantastical Transformation this year, and one of my manuscripts was a finalist for the 2022 Killer Nashville Claymore Award. I currently live in McKinney, TX, and I’m a regular goscribbler.com blog contributor as well as a full-time mother of three young children with another on the way. My hobbies include reading, art, car karaoke, sewing, crocheting, watching movies and select anime, and co-op gaming of all kinds with my husband.
