Honey was born March 7, 1968 in Macon, Georgia. She is the middle child of five born to very supportive parents. In the third grade, Honey developed a passion for creative writing.

She used her gift in school and church, throughout college and beyond, writing and editing short stories, political speeches, essays, and skits. However, she did not pursue her dream to write professionally until many years later after retiring from a career in social work.

Honey is happily married to her husband of 13 years. They reside in McDonough, Georgia where they are raising their 12-year-old son.
