About the author

I am a psychologist and an author. I have written many books on popular topics in psychology, such as "The Psychology of Dreams," "Coping with Stress," and "Romantic Relationships." I have turned to writing novels. My latest is the romantic-suspense story, "Look into the Past, Mercedes, if you Dare!"
I enjoy talking with people about books they have read.
