-I am a recently married, retired Library Director that jumped with both feet into the deep end of life by pursuing a career as a full-time writer. In my former life I also worked part-time for an AHL Hockey Team doing on-ice/in-game promotions, I am a licensed bartender and co-owned a Restaurant with my Mother. I have also been a bank teller, bakery clerk, and a pet/house sitter .
-I now have a life crafting poetry, novels, humorous short-stories, screenplays, children’s books, and non-fiction/reference books.
-I have also branched out into motivational speaking along with my book/writing talks.
