I'm an honorably discharged veteran of the U.S. Army Military Police Corps where I served as a Corrections Specialist. My husband was a Combat Engineer in the U.S. Army and served a tour in Iraq and a year in South Korea. We have nieces, cousins, brothers, and fathers who all served in the military, as well.
After the Army, I earned both bachelors and masters degrees in legal studies, worked several years as a paralegal, and then as a professional ghostwriter researching and writing books for attorneys, victims rights advocates, former FBI agents, and more.
Now, I'm a homeschool mother of two and I LOVE showing kids unique stories and perspectives about the US government, history, politics, current events, and more!
