About
I was born and raised in Denver Colorado. I am the oldest offour siblings. I moved to California in 1980 where I finished high school,graduated from our local college with a nursing degree. Shortly after Igraduated from college, I met my husband. We married in 1987, and will becelebrating our 22nd wedding anniversary on Oct. 21st. In 1993, we were blessedto give birth to a 7 lb 1 oz boy...Steven is now 15, and is the joy of ourlife. WE have since added to our family with our pit-bull Roxy, and one of herpups that she had in January. They are Brown-Sugar. From there, I owned andoperated a nonprofit organization, which closed in 2005.
Throughout my life, I have been a poetic writer. I not onlylike writing poetry, but I love to read poetry from all ages, and all walks oflife. In the summer of 2004, I sought out a publisher, and by 2005 my firstbook was published. Since then I have published three more books, and lookingforward to publishing more. In addition, to my poetry, I have also been awardedmany awards for my poetry. I want to encourage you all to stop by my websiteand take a look. You can purchase my books online as well.
