I was an attorney who left the law in 2004 with toddlers at home and a dream of writing novels. Six years later, that first book was finally "complete" and three years after that, it went out into the world. I was fortunate enough to find help and encouragement along the way and have met some fantastic, impressive, and supportive writers who I now consider to be wonderful friends. I've had many stumbles, highs and lows, but it remains the most enjoyable, thrilling, terrifying, and challenging way to focus my creativity.
