Profile Information
- Who I am:
- My journey consists of stray puzzle pieces wedged together, providing an inter-locking connection to the person I am today. Born number three out of seven within a nine-year span, posed its own set of challenges. My best laid plan of action was to withdraw. That’s when my pen, paper and imagination became my most intimate friends.
It wasn’t till I attended an all-girl high school, taught by a flock of nuns, and filled with a kaleidoscope of females, that my life began to pivot. Girls will be girls and our mission was to break the rules, dodge detention, lie if we must, repent later, and laugh till we peed in our pants.
The years that followed were a horse of a different color. I taught school, experienced all the anguish that goes hand in hand with divorced parents, changed my career to real estate then reverted back to teaching, got married, lived overseas, raised three wonderful children, created several small business ventures, suited up and showed up at Nar-Anon and Al-Anon meetings, lost myself, got divorced, found parts of myself, returned to the workforce, dove into the abyss of family tragedies, moved to another state to reinvent myself again and continued to search for the lost pieces.
Always thirsting for spiritual knowledge I explored a variety of venues during my down time - Self-Realization Fellowship, Healing Touch, Therapeutic Touch, Reike, Crystal Resonance, and Shamanism. Due to the economy my Community Relations position in the non-profit sector, dealing with sexually abused and poverty stricken families, was cut. Like the magician in tarot, I packed up all my tools and headed south to Charleston, South Carolina, to create the new me.
Life has turned full circle and here I am today with my pen, paper, and imagination writing once again, only my stories are richer, and more robust. The depth and breadth of who I am is enhanced by those intricate puzzle pieces of the past, but who I am becoming is still being defined and created.
I wrote and illustrated my first self-published book BELIEVE in January, 2010, and am currently in the throes of writing my second book. My blessed journey isn’t over… it has just begun.

- Books I've written, anthologies I've contributed to, and any scripts or plays I've authored:
- I wrote and illustrated "Believe" also translated into Spanish "Creer" in 2010. It's a story about the loss of a child... a heart's healing journey... and a bond of a mother's love.

I hear ya. I live vicariously through the "submissions of others" and my friend (also on SW, Melissa Sweinhagen) submitted a full MS (YA fiction). We both discussed it every day, still do pretty much and I was so excited for her when she would get a request to see some chapters or in some cases the full MS. Although no offers have rolled in, it is SOOO exciting!! I would completely collapse and as you say "cry happy tears and fall to my knees!!" absolutely.. my family would think I lost my mind...
I continue to search out those moments to explore, work through and itemize my approach to my book. Let us just say I do "a lot of thinking that if through osmosis, became writing.. I would have about 276 pages by now" hhhmmmm.. so scary.. I am such a panicky "writeiquer".. my new word. It means as I write I find myself critiquing as I go along instead of letting it just flow out.. Gotta stop that..
