I was born in Riverside, California in 1963. My family and I moved to San Diego when I was 7, and I never looked back. Growing up, I had a very rich life with my brother, David, and best friend, Gigi, in the 1070s and early 1980s. I married my husband, David, in 1998. We lived in Encinitas, California, for a few years before moving to Herald, California, in 2001. We have a blended family of 6 kids and truly enjoyed the rural life on a 5 1/2 acre ranch 45 minutes south of Sacramento I love writing and creating stories that are different and intriguing. I like to give my readers something extra and unexpected, and have a always dreamed of being a published author, but the timing never seemed right. Raising a family and working fulltime always took precedence. Shortly after I turned 50 I decided that if I continued to put off my dreams, the time would never be right. So, with an idea in my head, I sat down and began writing. I wanted there to be no regrets in my life. What resulted was a historical romance, filled with adventure, suspense, and an underlying epic love story weaved in for good measure. That's when "Angelina's Secret" was born. I loved everything about the process of writing and there are currently three books in "The Jeweled Dagger Series." I currently have five novels published, as well as my first Children's book, "The Secret of One-Eyed Cogburn, The Dreaded Pirate Captain." I am producing a new suspense Romance novel titled, The Magician Killer that I plan to release in 2025. That being said, I am also working on a Suspense/Romance period novel that will be more like my first novels. I am very excited about the future and thrilled to be writing fulltime now since I retired from my "9 to 5," job at the end of April 2017. My husband retired shortly after me when our youngest son was a sophomore in college. That's when we decided that it was time that we had an adventure of our own. That's when we made the move to Kalispell, Montana and the adventures just seem to happen every day. We go for hikes in our own backyard or take off for Glacier National Forest on a whim. We currently have eleven grandkids, Being "Grandma and Grandpa" is the icing on the cake for us. I count my blessings every day because I know how lucky I am. Life is good and now I can devote my days to doing what I really love, and that is writing and creating more stories.
