I live on a densely populated peninsula on the mid west coast of Florida with a cat Mogwai, and AJ, a long-haired Chihuahua. In the fourth grade, I wrote a story in the form of a play-something about getting a shot at the doctor-that actually was produced by the teacher for parents and students in an assembly. When I was older, I spilled my guts in a journal every night and wrote long newsy love letters to Viet Nam to my high school sweetheart, now my husband. I am a multi published author of romantic suspense having written and completed at least nine books, two series and a compilation of four short Christmas stories: Christmas Awakenings. Mentoring children fifteen years ago, began my phase of helping others, mostly children in third and fourth grade, teaching the importance of using the correct words for a 100 word essay, and watching their eyes light up when they figured it out. Since then, I have mentored aspiring authors to set goals, write at least 100 words every day to increase their word count, complete scenes, chapters and generally, meet their objectives.
