About Me

I am passionate about writing.  My desire to put pen to paper began at an early age.  I feel blessed to be among the world of published authors.  For many year I wrote in long hand on yellow legal pad as I performed the tasks of a single parent.  Many nights I sat in my car waiting for a child to come or go from one activity to another and wrote my stories  Belly of the Whale began in long hand and now the dream has come true and it will be available in April 2008. 

Belly of the Whale is a fictional account of a young woman with breast cancer.  It is twenty-four hours in her life, the day she gives up hope, the day she is taken hostage in an all-night market by a killer more deadly than her disease.
