I was born and raised in sunny Southern California and grew up on a hearty diet of books supplied by my fellow book-loving mom. When I proudly declared at age seven that I was one day going to be an author (a word I didn't quite know how to pronounce yet), no one was really that surprised. But sometimes it's easy to get distracted, and I found my way to law school instead. I studied hard, received my J.D. from the University of Southern California Law School, and spent a year working for a federal court judge. That was mostly fun, but guess what? I never forgot how much I loved to read and write! And so I finally decided to try writing a novel. Eight short years later (okay, it didn't always feel that short), my dream has come true, and I get to spend my days caring for my family and writing books for the best audience in the world - you!
P.S. The fact that I get to daydream about dragons is the icing on the cake.
