My first encounter was back in 1974 at a laundromat. While I was waiting for my clothes to finish the wash cycle, I noticed a cover on a paperback left by someone. I read the backcover and was hooked immediately. That was Kathleen Woodwiss', The Flame and the Flower.I was insatiably addicted and followed other authors like Rosemary Rogers, Cassie Edwards, and Judith McNaught. I participated in a series of creative writing classes in 1980 at a local community college and the praises of my instructor prompted me to write.Fulfilling that dream took nearly thirty years. My journey through life was plagued with two miscarriages, surviving endometrial cancer, a shocking divorce, job loss that created poverty and homelessness. Despite it all, I never gave up on my dream. During those days of desperation, I wrote non-stop to maintain some sense of sanity. If it hadn't been for those tumultuous times, I wouldn't have known how to expressively write and create the kind of raw, human, emotion I wanted my readership to feel during their journey with me.I always love to hear from my readers.
