My background has always been in marketing and sales which I suppose helps in selling my books. However, it's much easier to push someone else's work than your own. I've always had a passion for reading, and through the works of these talented authors is where I discovered my love for writing. As a teenager growing up in Miami, Fl., I was an avid reader. The beach was and still is my favorite place to spread out and relax with a steamy novel. And Jackie Collins, the first author that influenced me, is one of my favorite authors. She's an amazing storyteller and can weave a story like no one else. Throughout the years, I've discovered many other talented writers such as: Nora Roberts, Brad Meltzer, Janet Evanovich, Andres Dubus III, and Julie Garwood. I could probably name a dozen more, but these are the authors whom I've currently read and loved. So after living living in Houston, Texas for a year--and it was an amazing experience, I moved back to CT. But boy, did I love the Texas BBQ!! And it was as close as I could get to the balmy weather that I grew up with in Miami. Houston's a great city and I had a ball exploring every inch of it...and I loved the beautiful scenic countryside of Connecticut..watching the deer and decorating a new house. Guess you can say, I've fallen in love with most of the places I've lived. Must be the romantic in me. AND now I'm living In Jacksonville and it's been a GREAT experience so far. I love the southern gentleness of the marshes mixed with the laid back fun of Jax beach. It's the best of everything mixed into one...
