Inspired at a young age to write the stories in my head, I continued to find writing to be my escape from the world.  Years spent off my path gave me insights into life and enabled me to eventually begin writing again, this time as a single parent.  There was no sacred space in those days.  With a pen and yellow legal pad I wrote on the sidelines of soccer games, under an umbrella on rain drenched fields, in hotels across the map and on my kitchen table.  "Hudson Catalina" re-released in September 2012 by Imajin Books.  It speaks of lost hope, facing fear and finding the strength to survive.  A young woman with breast cancer is taken hostage in an all night market by a killer more deadly than her disease. New release "Room of Tears" July 2013-Imajin Books.  Written on the delicate canvas of 9/11 - this is a fictional story of a firefighter's wife and family in the aftermath of sixty years and the election of their son as the first American pope.
