My imagination has always been very active. Ever since I was little I have had stories developing in my mind. I first began putting those stories down on paper when I was eight years old, at least according to the oldest written story I have in a beat up old, green notebook. My love for writing comes from my mom. I may never have considered writing if I had not seen her writing when I was young. Her decision to home school me also played a huge part in my writing. I don't believe I would have had the time or energy to write as much as I did growing up if not for that, and I'm sure I wouldn't be where I am now.
My first stories were one page chapters that were each their own miniature stories about the same character. My biggest inspirations then were the Babysitter's Club Little Sister series and The Pony Pals series. All the stories I wrote between the ages of eight and thirteen were about girls and horses since that was all I could think about. :) The very first story I can actually say I finished was my own version of one of my favorite Pony Pal books.
My love for writing Christian fiction started with The Pirate Daughter's Promise, which I began writing in 2003 when I was fifteen. Since then I've had so many amazing experiences while writing. Through writing I feel I can partly imagine the joy and satisfaction the Lord felt when He first created earth.

I am very happy being an independent author and fully believe it is God's plan for me, at least for right now. I enjoy creating my books from start to finish. I take great satisfaction in it and think it would be hard to give that up. Being an independent author certainly doesn't give me the same opportunities as a traditionally published author, but I know that God will put my books wherever they are needed and they will become whatever He plans. Watching how He does it is one of the best parts. :)
