I’m an award-winning flash fiction author who was blessed with the opportunity to ditch corporate America in order to take care of my kids, pursue my dream of writing, and occasionally make the house look presentable. I was recently awarded first place in the Tadpole Press inaugural Mini Flash Fiction Contest for my ten-word story Minefield, second place in the Fall 2024 Contest Issue of Spark Flash Fiction for my 1,000-word story The Yolk’s on Me (https://sparkflashfiction.com/the-yolks-on-me/), and the Reader’s Choice poll winner in the Winter 2025 Issue of Spark Flash Fiction for my 1,000-word story Par for the Course (https://sparkflashfiction.com/par-for-the-course/). I enjoy romantic comedy, and I love books that make you feel good after reading them. When I’m not writing, I’m busy reading, ignoring the laundry, and wrangling my husband, two kids, and an undisclosed number of pets at our home in southwest Missouri.
