When I was young, I envisioned a life with a boy and a girl child. Oh the fun we would have! When reality became my life, I found myself with three sons and no daughters. Living with the disappointment in not being able to parent both genders, I found some amazing women and men who were experiencing the same feelings. Over the course of my third pregnancy, I wrote my feelings down and found myself wishing I could compile it into a book. With the urging from many friends, I did. ALTERED DREAMS came to be. My "daughter" is known to the world through paper, even though she does not exist in human form. Since the books publishing in December of 2008, I have been contacted by many parents through all walks of life who have also felt this way and now feel free to tell their stories. My one hope is that ALTERED DREAMS...Living With Gender Disappointment will reach that one person who is in need of knowing that it is ok to have a preference for your unborn child. And that through life, sometimes the dreams that are changed, are the best ones we ever received.

I have a Master's degree in Clinical Psychology. I have published many professional articles and personal poems. I was also a staff writer for the Chicago based magazine SPIRIT.

I am working on a second book now. I was also interviewed by our local newspaper THE REGISTER NEWS as the feature article for my book.
