The one thing that had the most influence on my writing was the 15 years I spent visiting Satanic Covens and interviewing victims of ritual abuse--yeah, yeah. I know, ritual abuse doesn't exist. Try telling the victims that. Plus I spent time studying White Witches, Black Witches, Druids. I investigated hauntings and have gobs of photos and voices on tape that still blow my mind.
Birth Place: Peekskill, NY
Accomplishments: I was on the Dean's List every semester in college. Awarded Phi Alpha Sigma and Alpha Beta Gamma. But I had no common sense. LOL Also won awards from civic organizations for my investigative reporting of scams perpetrated by county officials while living in Florida. I'm also a state and county licensed teacher who taught Adult Ed classes in high schools, libraries and AOL.
