I self-published my debut scifi/fantasy novel, Awareness: A Journey of Truth...or Treachery in June 2023. The second book, Remembrance: A Journey of Awakening, published in December, 2023. The final book of the trilogy, Intrusion: A Journey of Friendship, is scheduled to release on March 3, 2024.

I love this story. I hope you enjoy it, too.

I love to write. Always have. My professional career included medical writing, which is very intense, with unruly deadlines. Now that I'm retired, I've turned my love of writing toward creative writing, a first for me.

Easy cliches rise in my mind: The story writes itself. The story comes from somewhere outside of myself. The characters tell me what to write. These cliches are true, but they fail to reach the heights and the depth of the writing experience. The creative process is a dance with the Divine. I look forward to sitting down at my keyboard to find out what happens next.

I hope that I've captured that window into the Divine in order to share it with lovers of the written word everywhere.

I've enjoyed a wide spectrum of careers, including shop girl, bank teller, bookkeeper, biology student, research immunologist, clinical researcher, medical writer, llama caretaker, flower farmer, and most importantly, devotee of wisdom, calmness, power, sound, light, joy, love, and peace. I am blessed to be exploring anew, the magic of writing.
