TRUE STORY. Bella survived an abusive powerbroker father with organized crime ties, a drug-addicted mother and a physically/sexually abusive brother. Shocking & inspirational. When she couldn't cry, she tattooed a crying angel to cry for her.
Formerly an executive chef and now a commercial kitchen designer, I pursue my passion mornings from 5:30-6:30. I love old Florida and its characters so I pursue them too when I have time! (So I may write about them)
Background
Information
Born and raised in Hawaii, I traveled, while cooking and working, to New Orleans, Canada and Australia. Now that I'm "grown-up" I've settled in Sarasota Florida and use my experiences to travel in my writing mind, which is cheaper than an airplane ticket and usually even more rewarding!
