Where to start? I suppose with the basics.

I'm a single parent of two highly creative children. I've been writing stories since the
tender age of 8. It was always for school or my own amusement. Never for others.

I wrote fan fics (before they were called that) during my high school years and was inspired by Star
Trek, SeaQuest, and Highlander, just to name a few. I did a lot of poetry writing too during
my high school years, mainly to release all my angst, woes and emotions that I buried deep inside.

After high school I went to college and got a BA in Communications. It wasn't until after the birth of my
first child that I considered writing a novel. Once I moved from my home state of Virginia to
Florida in 2004, my goal solidified. I began work on a novel called "Moonbeams
and Moonlight." (it has yet to be completed)

I met a local writer's workshop group at the public library and through their steady encouragement,
along with my many friends (online and offline) I started taking baby steps toward fulfilling my
goal of producing a novel.

I've had many road blocks and speed bumps over the last six years, but Now here I am, 6 years later
and I've finished, not one, but two books.

I have to give thanks to NaNoWriMo.org (National Novel Writing Month contest) which gave birth to Werelove: Dusk Conspiracy. If I hadn't entered NaNo, and got a 40,496 words boost, I might still
be spinning my wheels and never finishing anything.
