Since I was a child, writing in any form has been my go-to place to create. Over the years, I've dabbled in poetry, blogging, magazine articles and my biggest undertaking: a book. After chronic illness pulled me from the working world at age 47, I wrote and published my memoir. But it was much more than that. I got to experiment with creative writing, and I was hooked. My next goal was a historical fiction novel that took a number of years to get 'just right'. And thus my recently published debut novel, "Beyond Mountain Park - An Odyssey of Love." My other loves are my partner, family, cats, baking and photography.
