Born a writer, my first work appeared during my pre-school years, published in a juicy red marker on the hallway wall outside my bedroom door. Deprived of the critical acclaim I’d expected, I took my fiction writing underground, filling marbled copybooks and yellow legal pads with tales of ongoing adventures through time and space. I survived the ensuing decades pouring my love and passion for words into school newspapers, yearbooks and coursework. All grown up, I kept the literary spark alive through employment as a journalist, marketing consultant, director of non-profit development communications, and volunteering.
When health issues and a global pandemic required I leave full-time work, I took advantage of the … “opportunity” to redirect my editorial efforts toward fiction.
Today, unable to find reason or distraction to prevent me, I’ve returned to my seemingly doomed fiction-writing career and am thrilled to release the characters I created into the world and to finally share their adventures.
Happy to have you along for the ride!
