In her own words:

 

I breathe life into my characters just so that you may read their story. My goal is to entertain and touch you by making you laugh, cry, get angry, i.e. go through the emotional experience that makes us all human and by doing so, humanize my characters.

 

I know the pain of an impoverished upbringing, dysfunctional family, and other obstacles life threw in my way but still, I triumphed. Even though I was left without parents at the age of 16, I sometimes stumbled, but still managed to put myself though college, receiving a Bachelor's degree in Applied Mathematics.

 

What makes me tick? Because of my dysfunctional upbringing, I am a broken clock, yet keep perfect time.

 

I have a strong Native American influence from my youth. This old Native American with skin like leather, used to visit my dad and they'd sit around the table, smoke and drink. He wore a bandana around his iron-grey hair, with a braid falling to the middle of his back. He wore whiskey-stained khakis, a colorful Native American shirt and high-top tennis shoes. My dad would sputter words of drunken wisdom and the old man would grunt. He'd then wobble drunkenly to the end of our street where he worked as a live-in summer gardner for my aunt. He perspired in a one-room shed with a cot for a bed.

 

I was born in the Los Angeles area but have family in Manhattan and visit often. My love of New York City motivated me to write I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU.

 

If you wish to know more about me, I have a memoir in ebook form THE BIGAMIST & THE WOMANIZER, Memoirs of My Father.

 

I thank you for any interest in me and my books.
