A dog lover, she has one mini poodle named Copper and a black lab, Beau. She is a Publisher's Weekly bestselling author as well as a member of RWA's Honor Roll. In 2019 her book "An Alaskan Christmas" was made into a movie (Love, Alaska) by Brain Power Studios and aired on UPTV. She is the author of over 40 novels and published by Harlequin Love Inspired and Grand Central Forever Publishing.
