I've been writing since I was thirteen years old, but dreaming about it since I could hold up a pencil and locate the nearest blank wall. I used to scribble on napkins at parties, on menus in restaurants, and in every notebook I carried with me to school. An avid reader as well, my mom signed me up for the Reader's Weekly Book Club, when I was just five. I would devour the books the same day they arrived, and spent the rest of the week analyzing them. Throughout my schooling years, I was nicknamed by my friends, "book girl".

In my early teens, I discovered the music in words and threw myself into poetry--something I also became known for throughout my time in school. I've written personalized poems for just about everyone I know, and in most cases, being a computer fanatic, framed the poems with a photo background related to the people I wrote the poems for.

In my later teens, I began writing scenes--a venture that carried me into adulthood, until I finally fed my desire to finally try my hand at writing a novel. My first attempt didn't exactly go off without a hitch, but I learned from that experience. in 2003, I began working on DAVID THORNE: The Golithian Orbs; a middle-grade urban fantasy...the first in a series about a boy who lands in a world built by magic, his search for someone very important, his unmasking of a dangerous man bent of destruction, and the birth of one of Elder City's greatest heroes.

I've been on numerous BlogTalk Radio shows, the first of which was the highest rated show for the month of May 08'.

I currently reside in Miami Lakes, FL with my husband of 20 years. My greatest hope in life is to touch people with my writing, to inspire, and evoke thought and creativity in others...oh, and to be a best selling author who lives in NYC. That's a BIG one.

Writing is my greatest passion, next to my husband. I love laughing, talking to people with varied interests, traveling, reading, gaming, movies, cooking, and TV. The list can go on forever really.

I love cities, dark stormy nights, and gritty movies, preferably with a noirish atmosphere. Atmosphere is a big thing for me. I love music that drips with it, and movies that exude atmosphere with every word spoken, and every scene shot. I look forward to meeting tons of writers here. I love talking to writers. They're all so passionate about their art that one would be mad not to be taken aback in the presence of such dedication and creativity.
