It's been a terrific ride so far and I'm really happy that I finally had the time to commit to writing full time. It was kind of a 'Cinderella' experience for me. I submitted it and with a little tweaking, Ellorascave sent me an acceptance letter. I wrote my first Sci Fi romance and Ral's Woman came to be. I'm a series fan! I kept writing for fun, wrote MANY books and then in 2009 I decided to try to get published. I wrote my first book which will probably never see the light of day in the early 90's. My first book was started after I read a real bomb of a book that ticked me off with really horrible characters and a plot that was shabby at best and I thought. I wrote poetry in my teens and then moved on to short stories.

I moved on to John Saul, Stephen King, Richard Laymon, Agatha Christie, and then found romance. By the time I was nine years old I had an adult library card where I visited often. I read entire series (Pippi Longstocking, Nancy Drew and The Hardy Boys, Trixie Beldon, The Borrowers, etc) in a matter of days at a time. No, I didn't know that I always wanted to write. I believe in romance, I've always been a daydreamer, and I'm a HUGE fan of books, always have been.

I live in Southern California and I can't function without iced coffee. I'm married happily, I met my dream guy 20 years ago, and we have 4 children. I'm a full time home 'supervisor' which is a nice word for saying I'm a housewife.

By the time I was nine years old I had an adult library card wher I had a rather short area here telling a little about me but then I had more than a few people ask me to expand it so.
