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.

Imagine a world in which being a vegetarian and a defender of animal rights might turn you into a traitor in the government's eye. Imagine a world in which meat is eaten for breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner and a world in which the growing of vegetables is quite a serious crime. This is the world of Ima Pigg. It is also a world in which certain people have the ability to speak with animals and it is a world in which transfurmations (&quot;fur&quot; is not a spelling mistake) occur. Some animals have the ability to switch places with humans: they can take over a human body and the human's soul will in turn take over the animal's body. This book tells the story of some of those animals and people - and their plan to make the world a better and less cruel place for animals.</span><br style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);" /><br style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);" /><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);">You don't have to be a vegetarian to enjoy this story but it certainly helps if you have a love and respect for all living beings. It is the kind of book that makes you say &quot;just one more chapter before I turn off the light&quot; but then you end up reading a lot more because you simply want to know where the story is leading and what will happen to the characters. The book is a great read and also makes you think about the love between people and animals.</span></p>
