The daughter of teachers, Rhonda, grew up in school. She swore she would never be a teacher, but she was good at it and became one anyway. She was a dedicated mother for many years with dreams of writing. She lives in Texas with her Westie, Pearl, and the love of her life. Her beautiful, smart girls are grown with exciting lives of their own. She is retired from teaching first grade, traveling with her husband, and enjoying adventures and writing. She likes to tell stories that show growth because growing and learning make us better humans. And, of course, her stories are romantic in nature, though not true romance.
