Hello Friends! Here's a snapshot of my life. I'm a native Hoosier living in Bargersville, Indiana with my husband and lovable pug, Boomer. My inspiration for Violet Jenkins Saves the Day came from growing up in a large family with over 40 cousins. My parents took me and my brothers on many fun-filled family vacations plagued with memorable disasters. I also have a special aunt in my life that was my muse for Aunt V.  

When I'm not writing, you can find me in the classroom doing science experiments or at the lake boating with my family which includes my parents and three grown sons (who, once upon a time, were my favorite shenanigators in the classroom).
