She has written poetry, essays and short stories, and is currently working on a science fiction novel. She is also an illustrator (watercolors and inks) and creates 3D artwork out of various found materials. Her inspiration for Miles Mansion was her niece, Bonnie, and her 3 nephews, Reese, Damian and Joey. She hopes children in the same age range as those in her book will enjoy sharing the adventure of Miles Mansion with Reese and his best friends.view less
