I was born in Woonsocket, Rhode Island, raised in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, resided for 20 years on the beautiful "Treasure Coast" of South Florida, but now live on the "Space Coast" where I get to geek-out watching rocket launches from my back yard.  I've been married for over 30 years to my best friend, who continues to inspire me and daily reaffirms my belief in true love.  Naturally, I tend to gravitate towards writing about romance, love, and passions.  I have eclectic tastes and interests otherwise.  I've been writing stories since I was a child, but then practically everyone in my family writes, either professionally or as a hobby.  I developed an interest in writing science fiction stories and wrote a number of fanfictions, followed by both historical and modern genre romances.  This steered me towards paranormal romances, fantasy romances, and erotica.  I've dabbled in sports journalism for baseball-themed websites and can proudly claim to be the first journalist to interview future baseball stars such as Andrew Heaney and Michael Conforto.  I love to read as much as I love to write, but will also stay up all night drawing if I get inspired.
