: About Me

I am a wife to the most wonderful man in the world and a mother of two great teenage sons.  I write because I enjoy it and hope to find others who enjoy reading what I write. My inspiration comes mostly from my family and all their antics but of course anyone who lives with teenagers can probably relate. I mostly write children's fiction and short stories but I also write poetry and adult fiction.

My goal in life would be to bask in the sun somewhere with my family living off my millions in royalties from my latest novel...but, I'd settle for at least a paying career as a writer.

I spend my weekdays taking care of my family and doing
volunteer work. I have been a stay at home mom for many years after having hung up my corporate hat in the medical field. I have never regretted one moment of being at home caring for our boys. I have been a member of numerous writers clubs and organizations over the years and have won a few awards locally for some of my writing. I enjoy writing and always have.
When I can, I write... and when I write, I write as much as I can.
Thanks for stopping by!

Night Noises - Sometimes at night When I am trying to sleep I hear noises in my room Creak! Creak! Creak! So I call for my mother "Oh mother, come here!" She comes to my room "What's the matter, my dear?" "I heard a loud noise So loud and so scary. Maybe it was a monster Or something big and hairy." "Nonsense, my son. Now do go to sleep." Then she turned off the light And smiled so sweet. It was that very smile I tried to remember When the noise came again But this time much louder It came from my window A shadow so dark Moving fast back and forth It made my dog bark This time came my fath...
