About
Author of Jungle Breezes and Two Simple Words. Mom of 8. Hoarder of backyard chickens ;P
I've lived in 3 different countries, and now live in Florida, USA.
September 2012 I came to 99Designs as a client.

As an author, I know getting your cover done is an exciting time that brings your book to life. I enjoy creating designs and being a part of that process. :)
