Her latest book, Naked Without a Hat: An Extraordinary Adventure Through Relocation Astrology is her break-out moment. After four years of being a widow, she has changed her status to single and is sharing her fantastical self-discovery journey to Greece after meeting with an Astrocartographer. She is the mother of two wonderful children, one the recipient of two Purple Hearts from Iraq, and one a practicing Esthetician, as well as two beautiful grandchildren. When she’s not writing, she enjoys oil painting, beading, gardening and long walks on the beach. She currently lives in Bandon, Oregon and continues to write.

Smashwords Interview

What inspired you to write this book?
I think fear is a motivating factor in our lives. This conclusion was apparent when I decided to step outside my comfort zone and travel across the globe to Greece. I challenged myself, a young single widowed woman. Astrocartography instilled curiosity. Fear motivated me to feel alive and to believe there is a place on the planet where I could find connections, synchronicities and great joy. I am so thankful I did not let fear deter me. I found profound joy. I'm so grateful for the experience of a life time!
When did you first start writing?
I started writing when I was very young. I found refuge in a pen and paper. I think I started like many, poems and short stories for school. My first book, Shhhh Breathe was a memoir and its follow up a personal care guide, Battling Philadelphia Positive Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia The Real Fight For Those With Ph+ALL.
Naked Without A Hat was so fun to write! It chronicles a journey back to life via Astrocartography. And what a fun journey it was. I encourage everyone to try it out. The many nuances of the science and the incredible fear factor of stepping outside your comfort zone is exhilarating!
