As the daughter of author Louis L’Amour, I grew up in the household of a prolific writer where storytelling was a way of life.
I began writing for personal enjoyment as a child and went to college to pursue a history degree. I also studied at the University of Southern California in the School of Journalism and while there wrote and published a volume of quotes from my father’s works. Published by Bantam Doubleday Dell in 1988, A Trail of Memories spent 16 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and was also a Publisher’s Weekly bestseller.
After a detour through the film industry, I returned to my roots to write novels for the Young Adult market, spending time under the tutelage of Craig Virden, then head of Random House Books for Young Readers, perfecting my craft.
As a cancer survivor, I now dedicate substantial time to advocacy and awareness efforts and recently published Chemo, Cupcakes and Carpools: How to Go through Chemo with Your Family, Your Marriage and Your Sanity Intact, and the companion organizer.
After creating and teaching a Creative Writing program for students from 8-80, I recognized that I have a passion and a unique ability to help others bring their stories to life. I now have the fun and privilege of nurturing writers as an Author Coach, while I continue to pen my own stories.
I love speaking for live events and teaching writing workshops balancing creativity with positivity.
