Since my first paid gig as a writer in 1999, I've written fun love stories. Even when I tried to write angsty, I couldn't keep the humor out -- it's hard-wired. Now I roll with it. I've been letting my geek flag fly here for a while. Some of my favorite authors are Penny Reid, Courtney Milan, Tessa Dare, Charlotte Stein, Marian Keyes, Jim Butcher, Alisha Rai, and Patrick Rothfuss. When not writing, I'm usually chasing my son and two dogs around the Pacific Northwest, usually admonishing someone to either eat something, stop eating something, or put something down.
