Reinvention is key to writing good fiction - and to good fiction writers... we fall somewhere between the wheel and the better mousetrap.

Background

Creating fiction gives one the power to design other lives, filled with romance and adventure, intrigue and passion. My own writing career began in middle school creative writing class, inspiring me to later major in literature. All it took was one teacher' encouragement and I was on my way.
Always a big fan of the motion picture, I began "seeing" movies in my head and ultimately succumbed to the nagging voice telling me to write them down. After gaining publishing credits in the prestigious periodical THEMA Literary Journal and PEACE Magazine, my short stories became novellas and then novels. Women's romantic fiction came naturally for me, and in between books I ventured into teen problem stories and eventually published LOCKER SHOCK!, a middle grade reader about a boy and an unwanted gun.
As a writer, my biggest obstacle is allocating enough time to write, edit and market my books while trying to run my business and raise my children. Squeezing extra minutes out of a stubborn timepiece is a challenge all writers must face.
