When I’m not writing I might be chilling in Munich or Nuremberg, Germany. Or I could be taking a bike tour, playing the drums in a band or just trying to stay awake in front of my PC. For inspiration and support I am blessed with two amazing daughters and my beautiful, incredible partner.

I was born and raised in Little Rock, Arkansas USA. I have an undergraduate degree in English literature and a master’s degree in English and German education. For over twenty-five years I have worked as a professional translator and technical writer at various German companies, including Siemens AG.

Currently my writing interests lie in the area of fiction for children and teenagers as well as in historical fiction. I have been active in the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators and have participated in the Bologna Children’s Book Fair for several years. I am also a member of the Independent Author Network.
