Born and raised with four siblings in Columbus, Ohio, I now live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, with my fantastic husband, our two remarkable sons, and an impossibly lovable dog. In addition to my writing, I'm the owner and lead tutor of Givens Academic and Preparatory Tutoring, a company serving the greater Pittsburgh area. I also enjoy singing and listening to most genres of music, cooking for family and friends, volunteering in my church and neighborhood, and curling up with a good book and good coffee.
