My Story
I grew up in a small town in Canada. I moved to the United States with an entry-level job and no money in 1997. Within three years, and with the help of incredible mentors, I grew with the company into a leadership role, training people from all over North America and core offices around the world. I've seen a lot. I've done a lot of living.
When Covid hit in 2020, my husband encouraged me to start writing down my wild dreams. I feel like a normal person however my dreams usually involve murder.
I wrote three novels then a book of short stories, family drama, erotica, whatever my fingers told me to type at my 3am start time.
I had never considered being a fiction writer. Now, I can't imagine not writing. I've always been a poet and a songwriter and, for many years, an avid journal writer. I could write cursive, but I hated typing. I could not type one sentence without making errors. I have not been diagnosed with Dyslexia, but two out of three of my children have Dyslexia. When they were diagnosed, many pieces from my past came together.
My good friend, a writer, asked me to attend Thrillerfest in New York in 2022. I went back in 2023 & 2024. I had started my memoir for my children, which quickly morphed into a Psychological Suspense with elements of Horror. I just finished book four in this series.
The beginning chapters, in Book One are inspired by my life experiences. I don't candy coat my graphic visions that write themselves on the page. I don't want to.
I want to teach my children the importance of being true to themselves and their art, by being truthful.

My pet peeve is secrets. I've added one after another in this series for the protagonist and you, the reader, to uncover. I have Easter eggs in book one for book three, book two for book four, and book one for book four. I love it. I really love it! The hero in my series is a hero. He's someone else's father who was not only a decent honest man, but he paid for my move to the states. His good changed my life for the better.
