I grew up in the midwest with a loving family including three brothers, one sister, and my parents who always fostered my creative side. I earned my bachelor’s degree at Iowa State University, then I was off to the Savannah College of Art and Design for graduate school. After that, I returned to Iowa for work which led me, once again, to ISU for my master’s degree in education.
I love to read and one day I was searching for a book. A book about a certain type of woman and a specific kind of man and I couldn’t find it so, I wrote it. I called it Game Changer and it couldn’t have been a more appropriate title. It changed my life in many ways. While my real job is teaching young people, my fun job is conjuring up characters and situations to write about.
My goal, as a writer, is to write stories that relate to all of us, to make readers laugh and maybe cry sometimes. I hope my readers can escape into a fantasy, one that’s actually possible. Sure, some of the stories could be dubbed “Insta-love” stories but that’s okay. I fell in love with my husband pretty damn fast and with my daughter the second I saw her. So, it’s a thing, I swear.
Quinn is a college student who believes she knows what her strengths and weaknesses are and she doesn’t believe that a slightly nerdy woman with too many curves would attract a man like Cooke. Cooke is a star athlete who has grown weary of people wanting to be around him because of what he can do for them and not who he is.
Whether it fate or a case of mistaken identity that brings these two opposites together but there was no doubt that they were meant to be. Humor, heat and realistic characters will have you invested in Quinn and Cooke’s happy ever after.
