From a family of eight children, a handsome father and a very loving, spiritual mother, four loving brothers and three great sisters. We as a family had a very rough childhood with a background of physical and mental abuse suffered at the hands of someone we should have been able to depend on and trust to keep us safe from harm. This has given me the biggest influence to want to write my book called "THE DEVIL'S RESIDENCE," to tell the stories of real cruelty that happens in this life of seemingly happy families. I dedicate my book especially to my mother and oldest brother, for they suffered the most severely, while so often trying to save us. And to the rest of my loving family. Last but not least, my wonderful loving husband John, who let me work away for hours at a time without complaining, allowing me to complete my book, thank you. One thing we have learned from our childhood is, to always be there for each other. Above all, to always want nothing but the best for each other. To my family I truly love you with all my heart.

I am proud to say that I now am a Published Author of "THE DEVIL'S RESIDENCE" as of last week June 22, 2007.
I was, and enjoyed very much being a professional clown, a professional wedding cake decorator. And am an artist (water colors & acrylics) This is to mention but a few.
