She's a Nashville native and graduated from Stratford High. She attended Nashville Medical College and graduated as a medical secretary. After college she worked in a doctor's office.

​

​Ms Douglas enjoys spending time with her family and her cats. She's been married for over 30 years and she loves to read her Bible. She is currently reading the Morning Shade series. She is very shy, so you need to come in to get to know her.
