About
I love to write, therefore I do write. I'm the author of over 4 dozen novels ranging from sweet romance, to sexy contemporary, women's fiction, futuristic and fantasy romance. You know, sea serpents, genies, travelers from future times and all that fun stuff. In my other life, I'm an editor, which I also love to do. Getting to fix up little mistakes made by others is a true joy. I've been published in print for a long time and now am also producing books for the electronic market. So, published author, editor of many published books, and blessed with a wild imagination, I'm the world's happiest person.

Story Behind The Book
I've always been horrified by the knowledge that scientists have been experimenting with weaponizing disease organisms, seeking means of delivering them. What if they were produced by enemies of Western Civilization? What if these enhanced viruses and bacteria, wind-borne, were caught by the prevailing Westerlies blowing across the Pacific Ocean? The diseases would fall in rainstorms, affecting first the population of western side of North America. As people fled the terror, they would carry plagues to the Southern Hemisphere, and eventually, on the Jet Stream, the plagues could encircle the globe, killing even those who had created them.
But, what if some people who caught certain illnesses, survived? What would happen to their genome? Would the genetic enhancements given the diseases create genetic changes in those survivors--and if not in them--then in their children? If so, what might some of those changes be?
This is my story of what I think could happen, and because I have never been able to think of humans of our world as the last evolution, I let the genetic changes take a portion of humanity one step further...
