I'm a writer, blogger, and advocate who writes Adult/YA genres with multicultural characters on both sides of the law. Looking for an agent to foster me :)

I'm an almost empty nester filling the space with writing, arts, social justice issues, travel, red wine and dark chocolate.

For 28 years I lived the hard nosed life of a State of California Department of Corrections employee working within a prison. I had a heck of a ride and a great career, while raising three kids as a single parent.

I've been writing for five years, taken a few workshops, and belong to an awesome, close knit writing and critique group. I dabble in poetry.

My novel, Strong Women Grow Here, is a Young Adult fiction about a 17-year-old mother serving a prison sentence for the death of her boyfriend.
