Born 1966 - I grew up in Hawthorne , NJ with my single mother and 3 older siblings. Having three older brothers and a mother that was worn out from them,I quickly learned to use my imagination at an early age during most play times. I was usually left alone to play. It wasn't bad I must say. During later childhood years my friends and I would go on adventures that would be unspeakable of today. Fast forward to early 40's in age. One evening I was putting my child to sleep when he asked me to tell him a bedtime story. I was completely out of ideas when suddenly I started recalling plenty of childhood memories. After that evening I knew my calling was to write Children's stories. I currently have nine copyrighted stories ready for publication unfortunately the process takes time. When you find the right illustrator you're willing to be patient. The Pooch Chronicles is my first published book of many to come.
