BIOGRAPHY I have been an avid reader all my life. I learned about life through the pages of books. While I never dreamed of being an author, my sister did have the dream. And she went on to become a NYT and USA Today Bestselling author. I only entered the arena when I had a true story that had to be told. It took four novels and a book of poetry and art to tell it. By then, the writing bug had bitten hard. I've now published numerous award-winning short stories and have found my niche in writing romantic suspense.
