Up until my daughter left home, my life totally revolved around motherhood and running a busy psychiatric practice. Writing was only a hobby - until recently when it became the primary focus of my life. My writing is mainly inspired by the hope that telling my own story will serve to focus public attention on a range of corrupt activities - including illegal narcotics trafficking and arms dealing, money laundering and covert assassinations of both foreign and domestic leaders and activists - that US intelligence undertakes - without Congressional approval or oversight.
