College brought her her first forray into the publishing world by having some of her poetry published in anthologies.

She is a member of Critique Circle online, Darn It, and is currently saving her money to join RWA and her local chapter. She can't pass up a book by Cassie Edwards, Sherrilyn Kenyon, Maggie Shayne or Diana Palmer. And Stephen King is a must have.
