I am an author/speaker/actor/comedian/pOet/RN, Mommy and wife, as well as undiscovered others. I have written since age 11 or so and now with the wisdom of age, I am venturing into marketing and promoting myself and my works full time. I am a surgical RN on the Open Heart/Heart Transplant team at Cleveland Clinic. Those experiences have integrated into my writing as well as evolving me as a person and a writer. My book, 'Notes' is a holistic reflection of who I am,what I am, and some of the persons I have connected with on my numerous paths. My book 'Notes From the MotherShip ~ Naked Invisibles' has a publication date of November 2007! My experiences are in film, theater, Stand Up Comedy, writing, and paying close attention to everything around me. 'Notes From the Mothership ~ The Naked Invisibles' coalesces the seemingly disparate elements of the authors existential search for identity and self, with a poetic poignancy afforded only by a life lived fully, attentively and mostly unguarded.
