She has spent her entire life in rural Pennsylvania surrounded by cattle and horses. When she wasn't roaming the family's farm or playing in the barn, she could be found reading or writing.

These days, she, her husband, and their spoiled cat, Kensi, live on property that was once part of her grandfather's dairy.
