British humor she didn’t understand. Well, she supposed it didn’t cost her
anything to give him what he wanted. “Thank you.”

Author Bio:
I was
born in historical Appomattox, Virginia. After graduating from high school, I
joined the military and served five years in the active duty Army. After
leaving, I decided to go into the Ohio Air National Guard where I retired as a
Master Sergeant in 2011. In case you were wondering, I have never flown a
plane. After getting lost to the recruiter's office, I was highly discouraged
from navigating one.

I
admit, I am an avid Jane Austen fan and try to incorporate her in my books, in
one way or another. This dream of writing, with Jane sometimes, is an exciting
adventure that may take me as far as the stars or as close as my computer.

When
I'm not writing, I'm spending time with my husband and two boys, ages 12 and
10. Without their sacrifice and understanding, I would have never been able to
pursue my passion of writing or my accomplishment of becoming a published
author.

No
matter what I write and read, there ALWAYS has to be a happy ending.
