I have several degrees from Rutgers - The State University of New Jersey. I have a BA in Business and Economics and a BA in English.

If you love a good mystery, and you have either a Kindle, Nook or iBooks, I encourage you to try a sample of my first novel. It's called FORBIDDEN STEPS and it's getting raves and 5 stars across the board. Check out what folks are saying by clicking on the link below, then scroll downward.
