About the author

I was born in New York City but raised in Winthrop Massachusetts, a small isthmus that juts into the Atlantic Ocean 5 miles north of Boston.During the long COLD winters, I read and I wrote.My favorite authors were Bronte and Austin before they became required reading. I wrote stories to amuse myself which led to writing the 6th grade play.When I discovered drama classes in the 9th grade,
At the U. of Miami I majored in Radio/TV/film as the program was called back in the day. For 3 of my 4 years in college I acted in thirty-minute radio dramas, almost on a weekly basis. Inevitably these live broadcasts of Theater X were love stories in which I played the heroine. Usually, the tragic heroine. I credit this experience as having set me on a course of no return. Romance and fantasy became my life.
After graduation, in order to earn a
living I became a broadcast copy & promotional writer and worked in the Miami and Los Angeles markets.My most rewarding work was as a writer/producer/host for a Miami PBS station.During this time I met many inspiring women whose remarkable achievements, great spirits and strength influenced me as I began to write fiction.
