IN MY OWN WORDS
My goal is to write books that are true. When you read them, I want you to recognize yourself and the people you know. I want to create characters and situations that are commonplace, yet lend insight at a deeper level so you are left thinking for a while after you close the book. Isn’t that what books are supposed to do?
While I always wanted to be a writer, I found myself climbing the corporate ladder for over twenty years while I raised my daughter. I eventually landed a senior executive position, where I specialized in corporate communications, strategic planning and organizational development. These skills turned out to be vital as I transitioned into writing fiction in 2004. They gave me the ability to understand my audience, to put a story together, to tell it clearly and to move the consensus from one point to another. I tell stories that catch your attention, give a new perspective, and motivate you to keep thinking about the topic long after the story is over.
