I am a full-time writer and mother, as well as a part-time aerobics instructor and figure skating coach. My background includes everything from business owner to sales rep to entertainer to church secretary, with a lot of in-betweens. After having crossed one of life's many speed bumps (there have been many), I decided to concentrate my energy on a lifelong love of writing. Before turning to full length fiction, I published articles in newspapers and magazines.My first novel, Silent Tears, is the story of a teenage girl born with extraordinary powers. Unfortunately, the powers are changing and her lifelong struggle to appear normal becomes more difficult...and dangerous.My second novel, 7am Sauna, follows the struggles of six women who have little in common except that they belong to the same health club. Through conversations in the sauna following their morning workouts, they discover new aspects of themselves, as well as the impact they can have on each other's lives.view less
