ABOUT ME:
I was born and raised in Manchester, NH. Upon graduation, I joined the U.S. Army as an MP. I served 11 years in the military from 1986-1997, and 7 years in Germany. Currently, I work for LAPD as a 911 Dispatcher. I am a member of the Romance Writers of America and EPIC (Electronically Published Internet Connection) I am published with Desert Breeze Publishing and 4RV Publishing.

I hope everyone had a happy and holiday season. Santa was kind to me. I received a New England Patriots football jersey!

It's the start of a new year and I always try to establish writing goals. I prefer goals to resolutions because with goals I feel like I have more time to accomplish them.

From 1999-2001 I honed my writing skills becoming an accomplished fan fiction writer. I wrote fan fiction for daytime drama "One Life To Live." The "OLTL Satire" is a humorous behind the scenes look of what goes on behind a soap opera. The Satire has been recognized as one of the best-written daytime drama's fan fiction.
