I grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, but after raising my four children, and suddenly being on my own, I ventured out to the constant heat of Mesa, Arizona to be nearer my grandson. After several years living quietly there, I met my new best friend in an online forum, fell in love, and traveled to Belgium to be with him. There, I continue to write, though somewhat more romanticized and heartfelt, gaining much inspiration from my new relationship. I am a newcomer to the wonderful world of the published writer. Though I have been writing for many years, I've just ventured out of my own little safety zone and joined the world in which the published authors exist. I have written poetry and novels that I hope will be ready for publication within a short period of time and am excited to tell my stories to readers all over the globe. I fall in love (and hate) with the characters that I write and I am hopeful that the reader will, as well.         

 

I am a grandmother of four, soon to be five, and I enjoy putting my feelings onto the page so that others can see that they are not alone in their emotional struggles and strengths. I have four poetry books, and one memoir/poetry book currently available on Amazon. I am also presently working on two novels, one of which is a mystery/thriller, and the other is a historical/romance.
