I have always loved writing and creating. I started off with poetry and short stories, some of my poems were published in national school literary magazines. I have had a diverse career as a waitress, bar lady, function coordinator, a rental agent, entrepreneur, store manager and office administrator. I have met incredible people along the way who have shaped not just my life but also my journey Unfortunately, I have lost a number of those friends to bike and car accidents as well as cancer. I started writing a book a few years ago (it has since turned into a 5-book series). To honor and remember those I have loved and lost, I combined their personalities, looks and traits to create some of the characters in my books.
