About Me
I’ve spent my career writing and editing countless documents while dreaming of authoring young adult fiction novels. Today, I'm proud to hold the title of "Published Freaking Author" (wink to all those "Jane The Virgin" fans). A Stellar Purpose is my first novel, and I intend to pursue this new passion for years to come.
Like many others, I want to do my part to help save our precious planet. Some clean trash from polluted beaches, others sign petitions or participate in rallies. In my case, I was drawn to write this series and share it with the world.
When I'm not writing, or sharing my passion with my fans, I enjoy spending warm days outdoors with my husband, two teenage daughters, and my scale and fur babies.
