I have always loved to write but my passion started when I published a poem and received an Editor's Choice Award. I continued to write but it was after my boys were in high school that I began writing my first book which I later published. After my first book was published, I received a lot of encouragement to write a follow-up book. My family are great influencers as well as places I have lived or traveled to. My last book is totally different than the first ones, it was inspired by my spouse. I enjoy spending time with family and friends or just being alone. I enjoy nature and all it has to offer as well as live theater and good old rock and roll. I hope all who read my books, from the young to the old, will enjoy the adventures.
