Author bio

I began writing for several reasons... to see my internal stories come to life; to express things I couldn't otherwise; because I couldn't find a book that had exactly the story I wanted to read... I never expected that others would enjoy my writing but I am always happy when someone does especially when they can relate to my characters in some way. My books are available on Amazon: https://amzn.to/4aOyBKx If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it. -Toni Morrison I will write my way into another life. -Ann Patchett Stay faithful to the stories in your head. -Paula Hawkins Writing permits me to be more than I am. Writing permits me to experience life as any number of strange creations. -Alice Walker
