A native Detroiter, becoming an author was my childhood dream. After earning an MBA from Michigan State University, working for twenty-five years in the healthcare industry and raising a family, the time finally came when I could pursue that dream.   My first novel, The Neocon Conspiracy, a futuristic political thriller, was released in 2006. Confessions of a Liberal Lover, published in 2009 under my alternative pen name, E.M. Muller, is light woman’s fiction with a touch of fantasy. A Monster's Game, my latest work, is a suspense-filled tale about a serial killer with a serious grudge against the rich set in my hometown of Detroit.     Although writing is my passion, my husband Ron and I love to travel. Since moving, we have visited Europe twice, although most of our summers have been spent in a Class A motor home traveling back and force across the United States and Canada, a country that feels like a second home to me. So far, we have logged 114,000 miles.   In the spring of 2013, our most adventurous trip ever kick-offs with a 15 day transatlantic cruise. An 11-day Mediterranean cruise will follow. After disembarking in Rome, we fly to Budapest and spend a week in the Hungarian countryside before taking the train to Vienna. From Vienna, we travel by car to Salzburg and Munich. Another week spent at a resort south of Cologne, before boarding another cruise ship in Zeebrugge for Scandinavia and Russia. We will make our way home for Southampton on the Queen Mary 2, returning to Florida by train.     Not a day goes by that I don't give thanks for the blessings bestowed upon me. My hope for each of you is if you are not yet living your dreams, you will keep them in your heart until the time is right for you to follow wherever they may lead.
