I grew up in Orangeburg, South Carolina, the daughter of a college professor and a social worker. I attended the University of Tennessee where I earned a degree in English. After graduation, I started a career in software that led me to Silicon Valley. I now live in the Santa Cruz mountains with my husband, John, and our dogs (Tyson and Reba) and cat (Scout). I still work in high tech. THE MOMENT OF EVERYTHING is my first novel.
