I have the gift of imagination and that has been a beacon all my life. I'm fortunate to be able to take a blank piece of paper and create a page turning story that evokes a wide array of human drama. I'm inspired by the simplest-to the most complex challenge a person can face, and with that, derive empathy for my characters. I would best describe myself as a "back porch storyteller"- writing that grabs you from the first sentence.

My latest novel, "The Last Merry Go Round," is a raw story about a family with dark secrets, and what happens to that family when those secrets explode.

My first published novel is called "The Ears That Have Eyes". It peers into the lives of four Los Angles women, whose games come with no time-outs.
