I've always wanted to write.  But when I was a teenager, I wrote my first short story and was immediately discouraged by family and friends to continue down that path...because a writer "doesn't feed a family", because "it's not a career", because....whatever other negative thing they said.  I listened to them, unfortunately.

Now, so many years later, I've found the courage to pursue my passion for writing. I hope my stories will inspire readers. I hope the readers are searching for their own truths and happiness just as my characters are. I've realized that the only thing that really matters is love - the deep human connection we form during our lifetime. And that's what I write about.

When I'm not writing, I love to play board games with my husband and son. I'm a book addict and coffee lover. I love walks at the beach. And I also have this crazy goal of running a marathon one day.
