Writing and I are old friends, and much like the characters in my books, we often have a rocky relationship.  Like the characters in my books, hopefully, we resolve our differences long enough to create something fulfilling and memorable.  My objective is to take you on a journey of escape for just a little while.  When I'm engaged in the tribulations of a character with whom I can identify because she's a mother, a working woman, or simply because she's a female falling in love, I can forget for a little while that I've actually been waiting in the dentist's office for my daughter for an hour and a half when it was supposed to be a quick half-hour appointment.  Something I learned early on in motherhood – you don't go anywhere without a good book.  (I keep a back-up in the car just in case.)
 I reside in San Diego with my family, live close to the beach and enjoy many of the amenities of living in a sand and surf city.  We have three cats, all with various infirmities, (but we love them anyway).  I hope you go along with me on my 'journeys' and enjoy them as much as I do.
