I love to travel, learn, and spend time with those I love. When I’m not writing, I can be found singing at my church, cooking, or baking something delicious. I love crime and cooking shows and history. I’m an anglophile, having an interest in all things British, so it’s no surprise why you’ll see posts related to the British royal family on my Mental Floss author page.
