I live with my husband and son in West Virginia. I started writing lyrics and poems at age fifteen. I actually sent these handwritten to Capital Records and they sent them back typed, and suggested I get an agent. My parents were too busy to help me with this, so It wasn't pursued professionally further.  I stopped writing for a long time. Then -so much had happened in my life- I felt the need to write about it. I see writing as a great form of self-expression. I had a really interesting childhood traveling the U.S. with my father. It was crazy at times.  We lived a very unconventional  lifestyle -traveling like gypsies.  My father was a very caring man, though. I discovered that the way I grew up made me unique and well- rounded. I decided to write a memoir about it. My book DADDY WAS A FLIM-FLAM MAN is now in the production phase. I have signed with Publish America and expect great things to happen. I love the songwriting of Elton John and Bernie Taupin. Songwriters are afterall lyrical poets. I also love biographies. I am in interested in peoples" lives, their motivations, and dreams. I am enjoying the journey into the Publishing World.
