My stories are usually: over the top, end of the world, trapped in a castle, mysterious, sexy, angst ridden fairy tales. I am not in it to try to be Steinbeck. I have not the want or the talent. Hopefully, you might enjoy what I write. If not, there are plenty of other books and other authors and I hope you find the ones you love and just can’t put down.
My favorites are Jacqueline Carey, James Reese and Anne Rice.
Travel has greatly inspired me and I caught a wicked case of wanderlust early in life. I have so far been to sixteen countries and lived for a while in four; The USA, Czech Republic, Hungary and Panama. I currently reside in Panama City, Panama. I spend 9 months of each year in Panama and 3 months traveling. Living with severe treatment resistant epilepsy is a big part of my life and for me, writing is often therapeutic. On an average day I have 2 or 3 seizures a day. Writing gives me an emotional out from that. As many people with epilepsy do, I also suffer from depression and bipolar syndrome. My characters sometimes reflect this. The best part of my life is my husband, Alec, who is so supportive and kind that I often wonder if I married a Disney prince. He shows up occasionally in my stories, but usually as a bad guy because he wants it that way and I think it is funny. I have a lovely group of friends here in Panama that are peachy and a beautiful view from my balcony of the ocean. In other words, it is a good life I live and I am happy, come what may.
