I am from the Pacific Northwest, where my family loves to have our own adventures. My youngest child has been undergoing chemotherapy for ALL since May of 2022. To help distract her during appointments I would tell her stories of an imaginary town called Topaz Falls. We would brainstorm the names of people and farm ani¬mals. Topaz Falls started as an imaginative brainstorming session with my kids, as a means to distract and bring smiles during stressful ap¬pointments. Since then, it has turned into an entire series. My kids loved my stories so much, they challenged me to turn them into adult novels. Now, I feel it needs to be told. I hope you will join me and meet the characters who have worked their way into my soul. If I don't have my nose in a story, then I'm busy creating art. My favorite genre is any form of fiction. I strongly believe that reading books and col¬lecting books are two different hobbies.
