Writing has always been a very therapeutic vessel for me. As a teenager, I wrote poetry when something exciting or traumatic was happening in my life. Keeping a notebook on my nightstand helps me through a restless evening and just putting my thoughts on the paper lulls me back to sleep. Every morning on our boat, I documented the adventures of the day before. Unfortunately all was lost with our boat Emerald Jane. Two nights after the shipwreck, I started writing again to relieve my mental anguish. This was the start of “Black Wave.”
I was born in New York City, the oldest of six children and grew up in Pleasantville, NY. I commuted by train into Manhattan for college and subsequently worked in Advertising sales for a magazine there. Standing on the frigid train platform in the middle of February inspired me to move to warmer weather and I was offered a chance to move to St. Croix in the USVI where sailing became a part of my life. After two years in the Virgin Islands, paradise became too much to handle and I moved back to New York, met John, got married and settled in San Diego. I became an account executive in commercial insurance and later joined forces with John to open a real estate development firm. During this time, we had three beautiful children, Ben, Amelia and Jack. When our fourth child Camille came along it was time to retire from the office. This was the time I started planning our getaway on a sailboat.
Currently I am busy raising my children, animals (dog and a cat), writing, public speaking and volunteering for several local organizations in San Diego. I am continually inspired to tell our story and the gift of life that God gave us.
