About Me
I'm a verse novel and short fiction author, screenwriter (TV, film and the web), actress and poet from Levittown, Pennsylvania. After several years of acting -- and performing in dozens of TV shows, films and commercials -- I returned to my writing roots. I studied screenwriting then embraced my loves of fiction and poetry.
I wrote 
Depth of Focus: A Novel and Depth of Focus: The Stanzas. Verse novels, both books tell the same story of a young woman's quest for independence, love, career success and the healing of her broken family. But, one version of the book (The Stanzas) is broken into the poetry/rhythm I heard when I originally wrote it. Currently living in Los Angeles, I'm writing my 2nd and 3rd verse novels -- Siblings & Other Torture Devices (comedy) and Windmills(drama/suspense). For each, I plan to release both versions.
You can read excerpts, a full description, etc. on my site:
I also have several listed on Scribd:
Depth of Focus: The Stanzas - Excerpt 1
Depth of Focus: A Novel - Chapters 1-4
Windmills: A Novel - Excerpt 1, Excerpt 2, Excerpt 3
Siblings & Other Torture Devices: A Novel - Excerpt 1, Excerpt 2, Excerpt 3
Checked Out (Flash Fiction, Romance/Dark Comedy)
Drive (Flash Fiction, Suspense/Comedy)
Parts of my resume are posted on the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) at www.imdb.me/kenya. To see it in its entirety -- or other samples of my work -- visit my site. I'm always looking for reviewers!

Several authors have posted excerpts of their wips on their websites, blogs, etc. Do those excerpts still qualify?

A woman finds out the hard way that romance and work don't always mix in my flash fiction on Sleep Deprivation and Me: A Love Story - Checked Out.

Thank you so much for the welcome! Hello from LA County. :) I really enjoyed your "little girl" post. May your crossroads present you with many joyful turns.
I'm thinking happy thoughts after Krystal (a book blogger from Chicago) wrote a really nice review of Depth of Focus! http://ning.it/jxIz36

- You can't be serious! No one goes to Perkasie for work, do they?! I've been to LA once though. Went to a fancy mall and saw the walk of stars and to some beach. And those Beverly Hills mansions, wow! (you live in one of those?!)
