When I was growing up I created an imaginary village to play in with my sister DeeDee. Now I write it all down and call it a "novel." My first novel, PUDDLES is endorsed on the cover by the best selling author of THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE Andrew Neiderman, AKA the author who has penned the VC Andrews' novels since she passed away.

I earned a degree in Writing Arts/Criminal Justice from SUNY Potsdam, cum laude; worked as a substitute teacher for grades K-12 for two years; as an assistant editor for a weekly newspaper, during which time I wrote a humor column and feature articles; was a group care worker for teens in residential foster care, and tutored the children of migrant farm workers. I volunteered for a year at the Auburn Men's Maximum Security Correctional Facility in Auburn, NY in their inmate-run substance abuse program.I have designed a series of worksheets, "Fun with Fiction" which I have presented to several elementary classes, a creative writer's group, an English class at a community college, and before published authors attending a convention.

I have been married for thirty-five years, have four kids, and seven grandkids.

I am in search of an agent to represent my work. I have several novels ready for marketing.
