I am a passionate adventurer who left my birthplace of California in the late 1960s to explore the United States. I worked my way around the country, and then expanded my travels abroad. In the mid-1970s, I returned to California and settled down to be a wife, mother, farmer, artist, and eventually a writer. At 52 I moved to Florida and learned to ride motorcycles, became a Realtor and a limo driver (great stories to share about that adventure), and also worked as a copywriter. In 2012 I moved to Las Vegas briefly before moving Off Grid in 2013. You can link to my OFF GRID blog from my Amazon author's page or by visiting my website. JewelStarAuthor . com I enjoy all sorts of books, self-help, saga, romance, erotica, psychology, mystery, thriller, fantasy, etc. I love dancing, hanging out by the water or in it, if it's hot outside, or in a hot-tub if its cold outside! I love to hike and clear my head, then sit down and write something really good. Life is great, and I'm doing my best to remember that everyday.
