Like most writers, I suspect, writing has been in my heart, mind and soul since childhood.  Since I first read my favorite fairy tale, Beauty and the Beast, I have wanted nothing more than to write my own tales of human heroines and non-human heroes. My dream came true with the publication of People of the Bear, which is a paranormal romance involving shapeshifters who are bears. But nothing is achieved alone, so to my family, friends and teachers along the way, I send a big bear hug of thanks!
