I’m a native New Englander whose first book was published in 2012, but I started writing it long before that because I had a bad habit of editing my book every time I even so much as glanced at it!

As for pets, do you count my hubby? We’ve been cat owners, and had a dog for a number of years, but now we just have each other. And kids. And grandkids.

I’m an author, educator, backyard scientist, and editor. Someone asked me once what I meant by “backyard scientist” and that’s a whole profile in itself. I have been rehabilitating wildlife and raising baby squirrels for years, but no more. Our licensor stopped, so we had to stop. I have also sent two experiments to be conducted on the ISS.

I am a semi-retired certified personal trainer that made a career change to clinical herbalist several years back.

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I am not your conventional author: wordy, verbose, well-read, and informed with the desire to wow audiences with their sense of literary genius. I create content from the mind space and then translate it into fictional content from the perspective of my inner self (heart space), only because I desire to indulge and fulfill something within me. I have done a few things in life worth mentioning. I educated myself with purpose and then set about trying to fulfill that purpose only to realize that it was not for me just a few years down the line.
