About me...

For years I've been fascinated by the puzzle of why some people collapse under life's traumas and others emerge triumphantly stronger. In a job surrounded by social workers and in my personal life, I saw the effects of child abuse, incest, and violence. Yet amid the stark realities of addictions, anger, abandonment, denial and betrayal shone the bright light of strength, hope and forgiveness.

These triumphs of the human spirit over the ugliest of adversities became the basis for my stories. My passion for writing romance stories became an outlet for the powerful messages that people can overcome great difficulties, and that true love can turn life’s heartaches into happily ever after.

I love writing dramatic stories. However, there's another side to my writing: humor. My dramatic stories have always contained touches of humor. In one of the darkest times of my life, I got tired of wallowing and drafted a romantic comedy story that became a novella. It was fun--and great therapy! So plan to see more romantic comedy novellas from me along with dramatic stories.
