I've always loved making things up, I have been that way since grammer school. That's how I made friends back in the old days! I was the ugly duckling, the one who didn't fit in with the cool kids, not even the nerds wanted to hang out with me. And I realized that the more stuff I made up, the easier it was to make friends. Eventually, all those crazy stories running around in my head found their way down on paper, and my love for making things up turned to writing them. Unfortunately, after high school I stopped. I found myself married with children, and without any time to write. For the past twenty years nursing has been my love, then I lost my job, and all those crazy thoughts came back, returning me to my first love, writing. All the good, as well as bad events that have happened in my life, have made me the writer I am. 

My first book, Coyote Hills, a psychological thriller, is currently available on Amazon, and Smashwords. I have two other books in the works, a fantasy, that takes you to another world beyond imagination, and a touching, heart warming, mother daughter story!
