Author Information

I am the proud granddaughter of Beatrice Pauley James, the woman whose life inspired my debut novel, Gurl. My grandmother's faith, strength, and quiet resilience shaped not only our family, but the woman I have become. Writing this book was my way of honoring her legacy and preserving the stories that might otherwise have been lost with time.Although Gurl is my first published work, storytelling has always lived in my heart. I grew up listening to family memories, stories of love, prayer, sacrifice, and family. I felt a deep responsibility to capture those moments so future generations could understand the power of faith and family heritage.I retired from the Department of Defense after a fulfilling career supporting military members and their families stationed around the world. I am a proud graduate of Hampton University, where I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management, and I later received my MBA from the University of Phoenix.I live in Fort Worth, Texas. I enjoy writing, traveling, designing and creating handcrafted jewelry, and helping operate our family horse ranch in Oklahoma. Above all, I cherish my faith in God, family, and the stories that connect us across generations.
