My favorite hobby (besides lounging on the couch with my 13-pound cat) is reading fun and frothy chick lit books. Many people think chick lit is nothing more than mindless garbage filled with formulaic plotlines. But if you extensively read into the genre, you’ll see that it’s so much more than stories about vapid, Gucci-obsessed women looking for love in Manhattan. To me chick lit is about strong-willed women who find strength through love, friendship and adversity. Stories like “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants,” and “Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Café” give me hope, energy and make me laugh. It’s my hope that I can encourage people to pick up a good book and feel that same sense of joy. Oh and ladies – I want you to know that you are never too old to read young adult fiction!

I'm a Texas gal who grew up writing stories about vampires, ghosts, werewolves and the occasional crime-solving cat. My constant departure from reality worried my family to no end. Of course, now that I'm actually making a living writing magazine stories, they no longer contemplate calling the men with the white coats. When not sequestered behind my computer, I can be found in front of the TV watching Ghost Hunters or taking my cat Gizmo for a walk.
