About

I live in Jamaica, where I'm always on the lookout for story-making material for my Romantic Suspense and Young Adult Novels.  I also write short stories and articles on the craft of writing.

I work in the sport of golf, do some cake-decorating when I'm in the mood, and try to get in as much reading and writing as I can, time permitting.
