About Me

First off….Hello! Thank you for visiting my page. I will admit it’s scary to put myself out here, so publicly. The words here will be cemented for an eternity. Eeek.

A little bit about me…. I was raised in a rather large family of nine kids, of which I grew up mainly with six brothers near the tail end of the family. I often tease my older sisters that we were raised by different parents. Now that I have my own child, I understand how parenting can change over the years.

I have a degree in Behavioral Health Sciences and a background in Social Work. Though I did entertain oboe performance for a few years, that was very rewarding and very demanding. I find I enjoy piano playing much more exciting, unless I was in an orchestra - then oboe is the way to go!

I began writing the Kolahni series in hopes of bringing to light different emotions in a new way. I began writing at a young age, even won a writing contest in elementary school.

I love to garden but only have a knack for weeds. They grow so well for me!

My stories I have published on my own and not through an agency (though - I supposed that is a writers dream to be picked up by a publishing agent and company). The reason for this is because at first, I wanted my novel to be published before my elderly parents passed away. We had a scare with my father, but he pulled through his two heart attacks and many stents. Then I found out - agents don’t want to touch a self-published author - especially the series they are writing. So until I write my next one, I’ll be publishing Kolahni and the planetary short stories on my own. Indie Authoring is kind of fun!
