Born and raised in California, I met my husband while teaching in the San Francisco Bay Area. A piano accompanist at the age of eight, I later received a Master's Degree in Keyboard Performance from San Francisco State. Following a business venture in Image Consulting and a career in Education, I earned a Doctorate in Psychology from Saybrook University. I am presently writing books named after the months of the year. My home is in Charlottesville, Virginia, where I live with my husband.
