I'm a born and bred South Floridian who's been lucky enough to wander the U.S. a bit, broadening both my life and writing horizons. I've been writing since I was old enough to form letters, and don't plan to stop any time soon. I have a Bachelor of Science in Communications, two kids, a husband and a house in the suburbs of Atlanta. I worked in the music business for a decade, as a legal assistant for about as long, and was lucky enough to intern for the Manchester Monarchs in the mid-2000s. I like to think I'm well-rounded, but you be the judge.

Hockey in the Sunshine State. It didn't seem feasible, but nearly 22 years later, it's still hanging in there despite some dark seasons. Over two decades,...
