When I was in the fifth grade I started my school's first newspaper. The initial copy was a collection of interviews and hot gossip I observed (and was drafted on a sheet of notebook paper!). I have always loved to read and to tell a good story and hopefully it shows:) <br><br>I drafted the first version of Cycles during National Novel Writing Month in 2011. What happened since was countless revisions, a divorce, several moves, COVID, and motivation to note give up on this story. Cycles is my first published work and hopefully not my last.<br><br>I split my time between writing, working in the communications field, and being a mom of 2 daughters (and the g-ma to one more). In my spare time, I take lots of walks, reads lots of books and try to fit in yoga, pilates, sauna and friends.
