My articles have inspired over 20 television episodes and are referenced in numerous books and podcasts. A few true crime documentary episodes have even used my sound bites as their official series episode titles. My passion for storytelling began as a teen, when I ripped and saved crime stories from the Birmingham News and listened to my Grandma Romay's riveting stories.And my life’s work: Raising my two children, Ivy Brook Walker (from my first marriage) and ValentÃn Reyes (from my second marriage)—as well as researching, writing, and archiving stories. Sadly, we lost Ivy in 2021 to Fentanyl poisoning.These days, I’m deeply interested in mysteries, legends, and vintage stories from the past—stories no one has ever heard… stories of the forgotten.My husband, Teodoro Reyes, is from Veracruz, Mexico. We've been married for 18 years. I speak fluent Spanish, and I love to dance Trail Ride--style line dancing, as well as Salsa and Cumbia!I studied Spanish Education and Writing at Jefferson State Community College and the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
