I am a passionate creative writer, poet, blogger, self-published author, and aspiring novelist. As an enduring partner and fiercely protective mom, I juggle my time between crafting short stories, chapbooks, greeting cards, novels, children's tales, and an endless array of innovative projects waiting to see the light of day.

My love for writing began in third grade when I penned my first award-winning poem, "Bored to Death." Inspired by a billboard on a mundane walk to school, I hastily scribbled a poem about a girl who died of boredom in class. What I dismissed as trivial, my teacher, Ms. Phillips, saw potential in and entered it into a contest. To my astonishment, I won, outshining students up to high school age!

From that early encouragement, I knew writing was my calling. My high school years were a whirlwind of reading a book a day, honing my unique styles, and expanding my vocabulary. At sixteen, I sold my first idea to Hallmark Cards. Though their interest in hiring me faded once they learned my age, it was an invaluable experience.

Poetry has been my greatest passion for over forty years, though my interests extend to storytelling and playwriting. I thrive on free expression, allowing verses to flow organically without the constraints of rhyme, meter, or haiku. Experimenting with different styles and techniques keeps my work fresh and original.

Thank you for visiting and showing interest in my literary journey.
