Having been encouraged originally by my father, as well as a good friend, I was told that I would make a good writer, I still didn't believe in myself enough to try while they were still alive.  After reading "Yanni in Words", something clicked inside of me, making me more confident, and wanting to give writing a try. Since 2005, I have enjoyed writing, mostly in hopes of inspiring both adults to be more positive, believe in themselves, and to help others along their journey in life. I have written books which include poetry and thoughts, and one with various short stories (real life and fiction). If after reading either or both of my books, I can help any one person smile or feel more inspired, then I consider myself successful, and will continue on with the joy of writing, hopefully challenging myself with a different type of book each time I write.                 

I have had two separate articles about my books featured in our local Sequim Gazette.
