Growing up the family had bird feeders on their front lawn and the first bird that she got to know was a hummingbird that her father introduced her to. Over the years, she has won several awards for her fiction with her Bird Watcher Mystery series that was published in Japan and the United Kingdom winning the Colorado Authors League Award and making the shortlist for two Literary Awards by WILLA. Goff was the winner of the 2002 Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers Award.

Besides writing, she has also been involved in teaching and has been a prominent speaker at writing workshops organized at the University of Colorado and the Colorado Free University.
