Welcome, Avid Readers!
Thank you for stopping by and showing your support! I have been a writer ever since a pencil first touched my little pre-school fingers, and boy has it been a wonderful adventure since then. I've dabbled in different genres, from poetry and blogs to memoirs and full length empowered romance novels. I've previously made a career out of business writing, so you can say the written word is just simply part of my soul. It is my wish to take readers on an inspirational journey; one that will empower them to live with hope and courage.

A Few Thoughtful Reviews
Great storyline and characters. I loved the relationship between the three sisters, each different in their own ways, but close and loving. When their family history foundation is shattered by a mysterious bequeath they go to Ireland as instructed. The trip brings more family and mystery, danger and romance to balance out the book. Can't wait for book two! Goodreads Review of Call of the Celts
This is a sweet book that matches personality traits to zodiac signs with adorable characters. Easy to understand and made my daughter and I laugh when we compared these characters to ourselves. This is a good book for kids who are learning to read. Amazon Review of Meet the Z Team
Oh how I loved this book about Jennifer's cross country move/drive across the country! This book is so enjoyable that I plan to read it again. It gives hope to people who are afraid to do what their heart desires even in the face of adversity. Amazon Review of Butterfly Travels 2
This reads like a collection of short stories. There is a good balance of amusing and touching stories to make the reading easy and entertaining, yet an honest reader will feel the pinch when the truth (that is so courageously shared) hits a bit close to home at times. The author's gift of vulnerability and humility give the reader an opportunity to reflect and heal in the reading. Threaded through each chapter are the themes of emotional growth, glimpses of a soul's timeless journey, and the transformation available when one engages in life and relationships with an open heart. Amazon Review of Butterfly Travels
