I started writing in college, writing for the college newspaper.  I was very much encouraged to write by my high school instructor Mr. Walker.  He saw much potential in me and asked me at each high school reunion, “Why aren’t you writing?”  Well Mr. Walker, I'm proud to say that my second book The Trouble With Change, was Best Book in the “Women’s Literature” category of the 2011 Pinnacle Book Achievement Awards and an Award-Winning Finalist in the "Fiction: Chick Lit/Women's Lit" category of the 2011 International Book Awards.

I like to write stories and poems about subjects which affect Urban Communities and my books are based upon my own personal experiences.  I also love to sketch and paint.  In the near future, I will be displaying some of my artwork on my blog.  I live with my two children and husband in California.
