I live in Iowa were I work with animals, but writing has always been my passion. I did a lot of my growing up in New York, and loved it there. I think this is why I love escaping to it in my writing.

My book Ladies of Market Street is a book that does not fit neatly into a single category. But I think that means that it can be enjoyed by so many.

It is a romance between two star crossed lovers, a Madam and an FBI agent. It is a mystery about who is harboring and trafficking young women into the city from China to be abused as sex slaves. And though this all seems a bit dramatic it is actually very humorous. I mean how can it not be when you try to write about a Madam and her sisterhood of crime fighting hookers that she hides under the faca

The Character of Friends

Where would we be with out the people we let into our lives. Are we as selective as we should be?

The answer for me was no. I was not always as selective, I enjoyed inviting every one into my life. However, once I experienced the true power of real friendship I became extremely selective.

The bonds between my characters in Ladies of Market Street is a bond that I truly wrote from my heart. More im Read more of this blog post »

“Being liked for the way you looked is worse than not being liked at all.”
Amanda Hocking, My Blood Approves

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“We are what we pretend to be, so we must be careful about what we pretend to be.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Mother Night

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“And on the subject of burning books: I want to congratulate librarians, not famous for their physical strength or their powerful political connections or their great wealth, who, all over this country, have staunchly resisted anti-democratic bullies who have tried to remove certain books from their shelves, and have refused to reveal to thought police the names of persons who have checked out those titles.

So the America I loved still exists, if not in the White House or the Supreme Court or the Senate or the House of Representatives or the media. The America I love still exists at the front desks of our public libraries.”
Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country
