                 So.... You want to know more about me?

 

 

                     

 

                                         Well, lets see I'm a single Mom with four children living at home. I have a fifth child who is happily married with two of her own children, so yes that makes me a Grandmother as well! I have been writing since the eigth grade! I kept journals with my best friend, Jeanette. She and I would trade daily and just write to one another. After a time Jeanette was no longer interested in keeping up with the journal. This is when I chose to go it alone and keep the journals for as long as I needed to vent or get an idea out of my head. Being on paper made it seem more real for me. I  majored in Art in high school and to this day I still try to design my own book covers.

Time continued on and so did I. I have had many careers, the first being a Chef. I went to school for the culinary arts, then I grew anxious and knew it was time for another one of my interests. I still love to cook and my family and friends are the lucky few who have the pleasure of sharing my table. My second career was as an Entertainer! I really loved that job and I did it for many many years and still managed to write because the ideas continued growing within me. While I was entertaining I worked for Motion Pictures as an Assistant Casting Director, and that brought me to another avenue. I became a Designer and Creater of costumes for motion pictures and stage. Now there was an adventure! I even started my own business called "It's Your Fantasy".  I had a best friend  and confidant (Sam) and a true love (Aaron), both who had died exactly one month to the day in the year 2001. They were my inspiration for the costume business, after they passed the business went to sleep as well. I still make costumes but mostly for friends and family.Still working for the night clubs, I also became a Waitress and Bartender

Now I am a Romance Writer,the one thing that never left me! I remember telling romance tales to my sister Victoria who was probably about 7 or 8 at the time, but she always wanted to hear the stories before she fell alseep. Every night it was a new adventure and every night I would leave it with a cliff hanger for the following night.

Now I have created a site where I can explore my ideas and express myself anyway I feel dignified to do so. It is my sincerest hope that you enjoy the short stories and maybe later on down the line, one of my completed novels! I will continue to write, its my immortality and yours, if you are one of the fortunates who know me well enough to reign in one my novels. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me... have the greatest day that the fates will allow!! 

P.S. I'm happily a new member of  Romance Writer's of America!!
