Reading has always been a passion of mine. In middle and high school, I would participate in the summer reading programs at the local library, often winning many prizes. My mom called me a hermit because I’d rather be in my room reading a book than outside or with my friends. I discovered my love for books in high school also extended to plays; thus, my passion for theatre was born. My favorite was working behind the scenes, creating colorful lighting effects. I followed my passion in college and obtained an associate’s in theatre arts. I also wrote short stories and fan fiction (don’t judge). While I loved the theatre, I quickly learned that it wasn’t practical to do for a living unless I got a break. So, I studied web and graphic design and did theatre as a hobby. Four years later, I had a bachelor’s in information technology, followed by a master’s a couple of years later. Today, I work as a system administrator in a NOC (network operations center), where I monitor my companies’ network for server issues. Since a NOC is 24x7, I work in 12-hour shifts, giving me literally half the month off to work on my hobbies. In 2019, I decided I would write again. My kids were finally old enough I could concentrate more on my hobbies than theirs. I published my first book, A Spy and his SEAL, at the end of August. I design the covers for my books as well as edit them. Although one day, I hope I’ll be able to afford a professional editor. I learned long ago; I enjoy reading all kinds of romances, straight, gay, bisexual; it doesn’t matter. My favorite being gay paranormal. Nothing beats a delightful book about fated mates, shifters, and male pregnancy. Another top pick of mine is action/suspense romance. What’s better than falling in love while dodging bullets and saving lives? As for my personal life, I am a cisgender straight woman. I am married to a wonderful man who supports me for my weird habits and interests. He is a stay-at-home dad taking care of our three sons. When I’m not working, I’m reading, writing, playing video games, or watching my favorite dramas.
