I was born and raised in upstate New York with my mom, dad, and younger brother. It's also where I met my husband at 17 years old. He was stationed at Griffiss Air Force base. We were married in 1987 and still married to this day living in Pennsylvania. Together we had two children a girl and a boy. Our daughter is the oldest and has a daughter of her own. I have always liked anything to do with the arts sketching, painting, and writing. I've written stories sence I was a teenager. I used to write and illustrate books for my kids while they were growing up. The idea that you can dream or think up something from another world time or place and make it into a story to entertain others is something I love to do. I don't just share words I share a piece of me with every word every idea.
