- As a native Floridian, I spent the majority of my youth out of the heat and inside where the air was cool and I didn't have to worry about sunburns. While most of my friends would be and about, I could usually be found with my nose between the pages of a book. It didn't even matter what kind - I read everything from the classics to the dictionary (yes, the dictionary) and everything in between. Still, it took me awhile to realize that I didn't just love reading, I loved writing. From truly awful poetry came short stories, then screenplays, and eventually, novels. For me, the transition was inevitable. After all, I believe authors don't choose their stories as much as stories choose their tellers. And characters have a way of slipping into one's brain and leaving an unmistakable imprint, an absolute need to have their story told. I studied Math at University of Central Florida and currently spend my days as a financial analyst for a large hospital system. One day I hope those numbers on my computer screen will become words...stories, actually, that readers can't wait to get their hands on. Until then, I'll continue sharing the worlds that come to mind and allowing my creativity to reign! I hope you'll join me while I do so...

Trapping a Duchess – Update
Hello, everyone! Just a quick update from the TAD home front. On January 20th, TAD went live on Podiobooks! YAY!!! You can, of course, continue to download episodes from this site. The promos, intros, etc. are all here for your consumption. The Podiobooks episodes are different in that they contain a standard intro and outro (no promos or me blathering). The story, of course, is unchanged. And, naturally, the conclusive episode available here contains a preview for At Journey’s End, [...]

Hello, everyone and welcome to Episode Nineteen of my podcast novel Trapping a Duchess! We are only a few episodes from the end! YAY!!!

The scandalously delicious third waltz… Sophie gets some alone time with Andrew, but does she have what it takes to play his game? As always, I would like to [...]

She’s Write About That – Prepping for NaNoWriMo (Vol VIII)
Happy Sunday, all and welcome back to She’s Write About That! I have one word for you today: NaNoWriMo. Okay, okay, so it’s not really a word. But for the month of November, National Novel Writer’s Month will be a hot topic and by the time those thirty days have passed, many novelists will have poured blood, sweat and tears into meeting their 50,000 word writing goal. Why? Because all writers are a little bit crazy….but in a good way. [...]

She’s Write About That – I Don’t Need No Stinking Editor (Vol VII)
Happy mid-week, all and welcome back to She’s Write About That! The topic of the week is self-editing. It sounds so…clinical, as if I might be able to walk into my doctor’s office and say “I self-edited myself in the shower this morning; I think I may have found a lump…” Anyway…back to the topic at hand. Self-editing. Hmmm…I had to actually think hard about this one, because I never really considered the way I edit. I mean, of course I [...]
