I've been writing since I was four years old, first simple poems and songs, then more complex works. Rarely a day goes by when I'm not jotting something down or cranking out significant word count on the desktop.

My writing manifests as the idea demands, so I've published poetry, novels, business books, memoirs, children's books and music.

Divatiel: Reflections of a bird's companion is a loving tribute to my feathered friend. Through the book, I reach out to bird and animal lovers about the loving place pets have in our lives and the lessons they teach us.

Java Jems: 5 Minute Inspirations for Busy People is available in both book form and audio CD/mp3. A Healing Heart: 5 Minute Inspirations for Those Who Grieve focuses on the healing process after the loss of a loved one.

My children's books include Icarus the Iguana, Who Am I? (pink edition) and Who Am I? (blue edition). More to come!

I was the full-time caregiver to my Mom for several years, an experience that changed how I understand love, patience, and what it means to show up for someone. I am creating multiple projects based on that experience, beginning with the memoir All the Cares in the World: A daughter's initiation into caregiving.

I aim to inspire people to live their fullest lives.
