I began writing at a young age and had some early success with my whimsical short stories. Then life intervened and I took a break from writing to build a career in public service.   

​

After retiring, the story line for my first novel, Dear Heart, came to me out of the blue, sparking my imagination and reigniting my enthusiasm for writing. Dear Heart and Sweet Heart were first published in 2018 by Solstice Publishing, then were re-released in 2021 through KDP.  In 2024, I published Interoffice Romance, and The Santa Diary And Other Stories, a collection of short pieces for Young Adults. I am currently working on a story about politics and power, questionable labor union practices, and simmering passion entitled Officer Kelly.
