I am a lover of stories and poetry and started writing in high school. I wrote
poetry through college and continued. I began writing ‘Fan Fiction’ for one of
my favorite shows as a hobby and
posting on the web for similar fans. Many people were interested in the stories,
so I continued. What I discovered was I was writing short stories and novella.
Wondering, if I could write about my favorite show, could I write stories about
characters I made up?

The writing began in earnest. I wrote what I love, mysteries. It was a learning
process with a few manuscripts landing in the trash. A member of several
writing groups such as Sisters In Crime, helped me understanding the writing
life. A hobby turned into a life’s passion.

My books Pennywise and Drop Dead Delicious created two of my favorite
characters, Maggie and Odessa. As with most of my work, they reflect the
people and environment around me. A native New Yorker, I love the multi-
cultural nature of the city and hope my writing reflects that.
