About

I was born and raised in Tampa Florida. I have worked in nutrition and natural food marketing, as well as recipe development for Whole Foods and Health Valley Foods.  In 1992 I got married. In 1995 I had a child and in 1999 I freaked out from earthquakes in California and moved back to Florida. I adore spending time with my family and riding horses. Dressage is my current mid-life passion. I have worked in the stock market as a financial advisor for 15 years and at the age of 49, I made the time to write my first book.  My short story "Radiance" was published last winter in Literary Magic Magazine.

"Who Got Liz Gardner" is my first book and semi-autobiographical. It is published  thru YWO and available at www.amazon.com as well as www.amazon.co.uk. If  you find certain features and details unrealistic and hard to believe, those are probably true!
Please visit my blog at http://whogotlizg.wordpress.com/ but don't judge me too harshly.

Reviews

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;">“I was blown away with this piece of work. I'm not normally interested in this type of genre and usually shy away from anything remotely erotic but boy am I glad I read this one. You had me bouncing from sad to hysterical, especially when it came to the part where Liz loses her virginity. I will never be able to look at a jar of Hellman’s in the same way again! The pace was superb.<span>  </span>You have a wit second to none. Would love to read more of your work.”<span>  </span><em>Joanne in Canada</em></span></p> <p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;">“Pacy, well written and compulsive. I’m not a fan of chick lit, but this grabbed me. Eat your heart out Helen Fielding. The concept of the novel is convincing – the query on the internet leads in to this picaresque novel about a female’s lustful history. The characters are convincing even though they fly through her life. I like the cynicism and the self awareness. Well done.” <em>Marilyn in the UK</em></span></p> <p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;"><em><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;">“</span></em><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;">Enthralled, entranced, excited!  I couldn’t stop turning pages!”<span>  </span><em>Rebecca in South Africa</em></span></p> <p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;">This book is sexy, thought provoking, intriguing and too hot to lay it aside and forget it. It grabbed me as have other well known authors such as Grisham and Wambaugh.  Bravo for you. <span> </span><em>Bill in Indiana</em></span></p>
