About the author

I am an author. I wasn't always, because my dreams took the backseat and my life took the front. Just like many of us out there. A husband in my early twenties, children, ailing parents and even a sick child.
I was a florist, a bindery worker, receptionist even a manager of our school cafeteria. Always wanting to write.
t wasn't until I was 50 when my daughter encouraged me to go for it. I started writing then and haven't stopped. My first published work is The Sixties Girl. And now there is the first of a 4 book series called. Big 4 Trucking "Eye Candy" All 4 books will be out this year and next.
I have been married to my husband John for over 40 years, I have a son, daughter-in-law and a lovely granddaughter. Our daughter lost her battle with heart problems 11 years ago. However, because of her I can now say, "I'm an author."
