I am a happily married mother of three grown children who are all on very separate and unique paths in life. I am proud of each of them for all they have conquered through the many obstacles they have faced; and for the achievements they have reached.
My closest friend is my daugther Monica who I could not imagine my life without!
My lover in life is my husband Paul who has been by my side for the past 15 years and has supported me even through times that I'm sure he would have rather run away!
I am also blessed to have the love and companionship of a beautiful Chocolate Labrador named Chelsea who is yet another child of mine - she has my heart!
I am very much looking forward to my upcoming retirement from a "job" and having the full time opportunity to express myself in writing.

Why I write ...

Because I know I can and I love it!

What I am reading/watching/listening to ...

Law and Order; Court TV and books on anything about real life situations

My first job ...

My best moment ...
