More About the Author
I was born on September 29, 1971 in Fairfield, Alabama. We moved to Georgia when I was four and then on to Texas in March of 1979 when I was seven. I've always loved to write and can remember my 5th grade teacher calling my mother to laugh about the fact that he had asked for a one page story and I provided him with five. Yes, I'm long winded. I was also extremely shy and found that writing was a way to give my otherwise quiet self a voice. I have written poetry and many short stories in addition to the Sonshine Girls series.
A very good friend of mine, Lori Kaufman, always told me that I need to write a book and have it published. Of course, I laughed. I was never good at finishing things. But in November of 2005 I did sit down and begin to write that book. "It's about time," Lori scolded.
I finished the book in three months, the entire time e-mailing it back and forth between Lori and Tiffany Dauzat who both encouraged me by always asking for more.
I now live in Conroe, TX with my husband whom I've been married to for over 18 years and six children. I attend Lifestyle Community Church in Conroe, TX where I help with the children's ministry and puppet team.

Sonshine Girls: Summer Secret,
By
This review is from: Sonshine Girls: Summer Secret (Paperback)
This is a very good book for young girls to read. The books has great messages, and are said in a way that the young girls who read it will understand. The book talks about how to deal with bullies in a Christian way and how to be forgiving with friends and enemies. The book is very realistic and there were times when I couldn't put the book down and had to keep on reading. The book is very relatable to me and I really enjoyed reading it.

This review is from: Sonshine Girls: Summer Secret (Paperback)
This is a great book. Any parent that wants to get closer to their daughters should read it with them. I am read it with my 8 year old. It has brought us closer and opened new doors for us. We talk about more now.
5.0 out of 5 stars
GREAT READ!,
This review is from: Sonshine Girls: Summer Secret (Paperback)
Coming from a person that doesn't read too much, I could NOT put this book down. I just wanted to find out the "secret." It's a great and easy ready and all the characters in the book will come to life at the beginning and you won't have to wait for the story to get started. Pefect for girls of all ages.
