I grew up in a small, Pacific Northwest town that instilled a lifelong love of small towns and country living, along with a deep love for pie, family history, and the possibility of ghosts. My grandfather was a building contractor and together my grandparents owned and operated a hardware store and lumberyard in my hometown. I spent many hours as a kid tagging along with Grandma in the store. I write the Hometown Hardware Mysteries, as well as the Zen Goat Mysteries, written as Janna Rollins.
Today, my husband and I live on a small hobby farm in SW Washington with a plethora of furry and feathered creatures.
When I'm not writing or reading, I love to bake, garden, and spend time with the grandkids.
