Biography

I am an artist and eBook author living in North Carolina. I am currently writing a series of adventure books featuring Jonny "Dimbo" Dimborowski (for Adults only).
Little Jonny becomes a "Professional Eavesdropper and Secret Keeper" at 8 years old after his father dies unexpectedly and he accidentally overhears patient secrets told to his mother, a psychiatrist. He accepts bribes from these patients who are willing to pay him big bucks to keep his mouth shut.
Now 23 years old, he is an amateur investigator who ends up helping these very same people with other problems.
Jonny gets involved in all kinds of capers in the process and he often recalls the people and events in his past that helped make him the man he is today.
His wit and humor will make you laugh, his sorrows will make you cry, but most of all, his good heart will make you love him!
Is he a devil or an angel? Only you can decide!

"Aquilla, Indian Captive" is a Young Adult historical teen story about a 15 year old spunky girl living in the 1700's who get taken by Indians. She endures many trials and hardships, but finds romance in the woods. I published this book for my mother who wrote it.
