I’ve been writing since the age of fifteen. I read and wrote my first ever romance story. I won’t call it a novel because it took one, five hundred white spiraled notebook pages--cover to cover. That was the moment the ’writing bug’ bit and bit hard. In the interim years I had four girls who are now (16, 15, 14 and 12) full blown teenagers. I love every minute of being a mother. Everyday I learn so much about them and myself. My twelve year old was diagnosed at the age of 1 ½ with LD’S and at the age of four with ADHD( Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) and Asperger’s Syndrome (a form of Autism). Having a special needs child has taught me to advocate what is best for her. In advocating for her I had to find my voice. And in finding my voice I rediscovered what I had hid a way for so long. Writing for me is a form of cathartics. It doesn’t matter what I’m writing. If its romance, erotica or a contemporary short story I feel the same overwhelming sense that I NEED to do this.
