Born in the California, Bay area, I’m in love with the ocean and try get to the beach someplace around the world at least once a year. I enjoy hiking and bicycling.

I never thought I’d get to college, see a UFO or visit the city of Pompeii, but I’ve done them all.

Ours is a blended family of eight children and their spouses, fourteen grandchildren and one great-grandchild, making it a very long dinner table during the holidays.

Years ago, I was steering down the steep, windy lane from the Sundance Ski Resort when my heart began to pound. The car behind me had closed the gap between us on the mountainside.

Maybe he was a psychopath who would drive me off the road, attack and stab me to death.

Maybe I was being chased by my handsome lover who had begged me not to leave him, was aching to hold me in his arms and wouldn’t let me go.

Maybe it was both.

My hands froze on the steering wheel when at the T-junction the suspicious driver pulled up beside me. When he turned in the opposite direction, and the chase was over, I decided it was time.

As an accomplished and published ghost writer with over twenty-five years of experience, my subconscious was calling me to enter the world of fiction. Its been a wonderful adventure to follow that voice.
