An avid swimmer most of my life, I can usually be found near or immersed in a body of water. If I'm not seeking an endorphin rush in a pool, lake or ocean, I'm often encouraging people to work out or writing a book or magazine article. I also love traveling to off-the-beaten-path places where phones and electronic devices tend not to work well. Expect to visit some of these places when you read myr work and to see the ocean in all its glory! My characters are sometimes athletes, almost always feisty, slightly quirky, independent individuals. Writing humorous dialogue makes my day as does writing a good sex scene requiring a cold shower or something better. I'm a member of the Romance Writers of America, the Society of Southwestern Authors and have taken writing workshops in San Jose, CA, Tucson, AZ and Prague, Czech Republic.
