I have been influenced by many authors, love mysteries and favorites include Cleo Coyle and James Patterson. I am also a big Comedy fan, and find performers/writers like Bette Midler, Billy Crystal, & Robin Williams , fascinating because they are trailblazers, and originals. I admire anyone who succeeds walking their own path. I write mostly for myself, hopefully my readers find it entertaining. I always try to incorporate realistic themes of humor, mystery & a dose of sarcasm in my work. There is inspiration everywhere and I have found the more I read, the more amazed and inspired I am, to succeed as a writer. 

While in College,I began as the staff photographer and news reporter. I interviewed Gore Vidal and Jacob Javits separately while an undergrad at John Jay College. My most memorable day is the day I met Jackie Onassis while employed at Bloomingdale's .Since then I have met several of my heroes, including Joe Montana, and Henrik Lundqvist.
