As an author of fictional romance-drama, my major influences include: Eric Jerome Dickey, Zane, and Carl Weber among many others.  I have been writing since childhood as I used writing to relieve stress, express my creativity, and connect with others. _______________________________________________________________ My Author Bio: As a young child, this Richmond native demonstrated her passion for writing through journaling and short story writing. As time progressed her love grew and expanded to develop her own personal poems, soap operas, and television scripts. By her senior year in high school, she was ready to serve as a school newspaper journalist.  It was at this time she realized her raw talent in writing, although she decided to pursue other career areas first.  In college, she majored in Psychology, and earned her BS in Psychology and MS in Rehabilitation Counseling.
