She was born June 8,1975 in the small town of DeQueen. With her father in the military and her mother having an overwhelming sense of adventure, she spent her childhood traveling from place to place. 

At the age of eight, she began writing poetry and short stories. It became an obsession, passion, and a way to escape from her everyday life. 

She won numerous editor-choice awards from IPS between 2000-2009 before finally deciding to publish her first novel, "The Legend of Montavia." A few years later, she published her first poetry book, "Poetic Dreams." 

With her daughter being dissatisfied with the ending of The Legend of Montavia, she republished the book making it a second edition. She added more new and exciting characters and also a different ending.

When her ex father-in-law passed away in 2017, a man that she greatly admired and even uses his name as her pen name (Turner), she released "Treasures of the Heart" in memory of him.

Her newest book "Return to Montavia" was supposed to be released in 2019, but due to her mother passing away earlier that year, it is unclear when it will be released.
