Born in the dusty south plains town of Lubbock, Texas, birthplace of great musicians like Buddy Holly, Mac Davis, Joe Ely, and Nataly Maines, I grew up exposed to many wonderful and talented people, and a whole lot of churches and restaurants. A graduate of Texas Tech University and certified teacher, artist and writer, I have long been interested in the magical aspects of folk craft traditions. I also am an avid lover of science fiction and fantasy, having cut my teeth on my first sci-fi novels at the age of nine.
I’ve written many articles on the spiritual and magical uses of crystals and stones and my first book, Crafting a Magical Life: Manifesting Your Heart’s Desire Through Creative Projects, was published by Inner Traditions/Findhorn Press in 2009. In addition to my own projects, I have helped many authors prep their books for publication and have assisted in writing specialty articles, blog posts and marketing pieces.
I really love writing and editing and have enjoyed it since I was a teenager.
