It was in 1999 when the idea behind a song I had written transformed into my first novel Wasted Land which was published for a few years time with a small indie publisher. Since then I have written several novels, a handful of which have been published (2 currently under contract and available)--see books page. As well, I was the proud founder and Editor for the alternative literary e-zine New Graffiti.(no longer in existance). I've also worked on staff writng non-fiction informative and review pieces for print periodicals such as The Crow, Upfront, and Vox magazines.

Presently I reside very happily with my zany scientist husband Adam, my "ACTION" dog Honey, and my vicious guard cat Turkish (named after a character in a movie who was named after a plane crash), in a creepy little border town. Although my writing career has slowed some by my own choice, I still write, but novels only. Life experience and maturity has changed much for me, including what my view of success is. Writing is no longer something I must pattern in order to be marketable, but rather a very unhurried and thoughtful process. Now in my youngest forties, I realize that my success lies primarily in whether I have pleased myself or not. I care not how others read me - if I enjoy what I've written, then I've remained true to myself and that to me, is success. To sell out is to fail; in ALL aspects of life.
