I am the mother of seven children (five of which I raised) and the proud grandmother of six grandsons and six granddaughters. I have a beautiful Australian Shepherd named Bella and two ornery cats, Edward and Lil Bit. I am an avid book worm and cinephile, the less known author, musician or film, the better. I have just recently began attending film festivals so that I can get my love of indie films fulfilled. I am pretty low maintenance and will tell it like it is. If you have a question for me please feel free to ask. My day job is that of a psychologist which I love doing but my dream is to write professionally. Although I have written in the academic field, both in journals and a published book, I would like to write fiction. I got my feet wet in the fan fiction world, yes, that's right, fan fiction which I can proudly say allowed me to find my creative side once again. I will likely publish a couple of my previously posted fan fiction stories but they will be toned down considerably. My style will be mostly psychological suspense with a hint of the supernatural but I will also write some young adult novels (my daughter wants to write with me, how can I say no to that?) and a few adult romance novels. That should keep me busy for awhile.

Well, 2018 wasn’t all it was cracked up to be, and a lot of my professional goals didn’t quite pan out, but I am fully optimistic about 2019. Ya know, obstacles are not the end of it all, it just teaches how to see other options which is what I plan on doing this year. … More Hello 2019
I haven’t decided how I feel about 2018. It was filled with lots of ups and downs, but somehow it felt like it had more downs than ups. I’m sure that’s probably not true. I think sometimes how we end the year influences how we see the entire year. Isn’t it interesting how that happens? … More Goodbye 2018
Normally with the release of a new book I do some kind of interview. Earlier this year I did a character interview with my two main characters of Retaliatory Justice, Valentino and Dominique. I wasn’t able to get one done for Beyond the Beach, the first book I didn’t do a Q&A for, so I … More An Unexpected Gift Q&A
I’m so excited to reveal the cover for mine and Deanna’s new paranormal young adult story. The cover was designed by Winyan Press illustrator Alex Marin who did another amazing job in portraying the feel of the book with Parker Joseph front and center. Let me tell you a little about the formation of this … More Cover Reveal: An Unexpected Gift
