I am an Etsy entrepreneur, thespian, aspiring author, and devoted mother and wife. I possess a Gypsy's soul, a passion for all things pretty and exotic, and have the innate ability to drive my husband mad by "writing my life in my head," only to become a bit listless when life hasn't gone according to composition. The curse of the creative mind, I suppose?

I was born and raised in beautiful, sunny Florida- and find myself drawn to placing my character's lives here, or places reminiscent thereof that I've taken pleasure in visiting. I shy away from writing about places foreign to me- I find it lacks believability.

I primarily write Women's Fiction and Romance, with a side dish of poetry. Though, most of my poetry was written when I was a teen, full of unbridled angst while in the midst of "finding myself."
The latter of which, I was blessed enough to have had hand selected for publication, in the 2002 New York Time's recommended compilation, titled, 'Muse Whispers, Vol. 1,' from Midnight Edition Publishing. I was placed humbly among the likes of Jay Frankston, and many other award winning, multi-published authors, in addition to a few literary hall of fame members. (Lucky them, being published in the same book as me!)

Please, read and enjoy, or don't! I promise, my feelings won't be hurt.
Remember, feedback- good or bad- is highly recommended and appreciated! Without it, I can't very well hone the craft the drives me.
