Nimitz Highway and River Street is an intersection on the island of Oahu in Hawaii. This is where I impatiently came out of the womb ready to start on her own personal history. I grew up in upstate New York against the backdrop of the flowering women’s rights movement with different ideas from my mother as to what life as a woman should be. In college, I majored in psychology with the intent of being a “death & dying” counselor. This would be my paying job while I wrote the next great American novel. Plan B kicked in and I graduated with a B.A. in English, packed her car, and upset my parents by moving to Florida in search of her destiny.

Without ever having taken one business course, I created my own brand and became a successful business executive by day and women’s fiction writer by night. So far, I have lived a Lifetime Movie Network life, a mixture of extraordinary, ordinary, mundane, and terrifying, providing me great inspiration and fanning my creative flame.

I penned Restoration (release date September 18, 2013), Atomic Summer, and am now working on my third novel. I received an honorable mention at the 2012 Southern California Book Festival in the General Fiction category and was quarter finalist in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Awards.

The most powerful influences in my life and stories are being a daughter, mother, friend, and soul mate. But as a successful women’s fiction author, does this surprise anyone?
