I was born in Texas and have moved many times since then. I have met a lot of interesting people in the course of my life and have often drawn inspiration from them, my own life and my travels. If I dated someone and wondered what my life would have been like if I had taken a different path with them instead of breaking up, I ask myself what would that happy ending have been like? Yes, I believe in happy endings. I believe in romance and redemption and forgiveness... and hot sex. Yes, I am an artist and a nudist like so many of my characters. Yes, I was a go-go dancer. Yes, I lived in a monastery. I am also married (to a wonderful man) and I believe I have attained my own happy ending.
