I can't remember a time when I didn't want to write or wasn't writing. ​As a little girl growing up in the Bronx, I told my friends stories I made up, but pretended were true (imagined reality was better received by the audience). I wrote my first short story when I was twelve. In middle school, I'd submit book reports about my own stories with fake author names. Never caught and always received an A. Under my graduation picture in the Evander Childs High School yearbook next to "ambition," it said writer. Marriage, children, and career sidelined my true passion, but didn't squelch it. ​"Getting It Right" came to me in scenes. I finished the first draft in a year. Querying and rejections followed until the wonderful day when my agent said, "I have an offer to share with you." Wow. Happy and grateful. Akashic Books published it June 2017. My second novel, "Tangled Lies," found a home with Black Rose Writing after querying and rejections and was released in July 2021. Novel three -- no querying, no rejections. My publisher contacted me and asked if I had another book. "Yes, I do," I said. "Reckonings" was released on June 16, 2022! And novel #4 -- "True Grace" -- historical suspense, book club fiction, drops on September 7, 2023. Today, I live in Florida with my husband of 55 years. Together, we have two grown children and three grandsons. I love hearing from readers and fellow authors. I host a zoom show, What Are You Reading? What Are You Writing? on my website. Hope to hear from you! ​
