Who am I
I’m a paralegal for a law firm in Encino by day. By night, I enjoy my duties as author (www.QueenWriter.com) and editor (www.editing.queenwriter.com).
Apart from being an award winning author for my short story “Cut,” I’ve penned a crime thriller series (Ivanovich series) as well as a young adult series (The Other Side series). I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Literature/Creative Writing, have been interviewed in the newspaper and on the radio with relation to my writing, and have been a co-host on Suspense Radio.
I am a member of International Thriller Writers (ITW) and of Sisters in Crime, Los Angeles Chapter and nationally. I have won three Best Speaker awards as well as Best Evaluator at the Voice Ambassadors chapter of Toastmasters. I have always been active in events. As co-chair and main coordinator for the West Coast Author Premiere, I arranged the weekend-long event to help authors from all over network, learn and share their work with the public. I have also been instrumental in compiling authors and planning a local author event at Barnes and Noble in Ventura, California along with the store’s event manager.
