My mother read to me from a very young age getting me to love books as much as she did. I liked to make up stories and as a child my nose was always in a book. I think I came out of the womb with a crayon in one hand and a book in the other, and my dream of writing and illustrating came to fruition when I went to college as a mid-lifer. I worked as a freelance writer for several magazines and newspapers while living in MA. When my husband and I moved to NC, I was able to continue my magazine writing and also started writing books, reworking a children's book I had started many years before. At this time I have three unfinished mainstream novels in the work, and my children's book is ready for publication
