About
In 2011, I took a leap of faith and left my position as a director of marketing to pursue a career in writing. Two of my full-blown musical plays were produced by independent investors in Minneapolis, Iowa, and Sweden. I wrote the script and music over a span of ten years while raising my three sons. When the market turned south, and investors were difficult to find, I began to write my first novel. My genre is thriller. Political thriller Itsy Bitsy Spider was published in 2013; literary thriller Hush was published in 2014, and psychological thriller Lottery will be on Amazon the end of July, 2014. On my journey as an author, getting to know readers is a rewarding experience. They are not only the 'wing beneath my wings', but valuable friendships have been made along the way.

Story Behind The Book
Throughout my life, I have had friends and acquaintances I have met who were adopted; some had unsealed their adoption papers and found one or both adoptive parents; others had not.
In 2010, I feel fell in love with a man who had been adopted. He was gentle, loving, and kind, but had many questions and insecurities about his adoption. Unfortunately, there were no records to unseal. Even before this, I had wondered what it feel like to never know your adoptive parents, and if you did meet them, what would you say? Would there be anger? Remorse? Adding to this concept, I spent months researching not only adoption, but the Roe v Wade case, along with how the rubella vaccine was found. Putting all of the research together, Hush was born.
