About the Author
I was born and raised in the Central Valley of California, and that is where I met my husband, back when we were both still in high school. We got married a few years later and moved around a bit while he was in the US Coast Guard, living in Oregon for a while before settling down in Hill Country, Texas for eight years.
But now, we’ve made the big move to East Texas and are enjoying our time here with our two teenage sons. We love attending all their events and cheering them on from the stands, especially when they’re swimming their hearts out!
