Well, the best things about me right now, I think are two things, I am a grandmother and a newly published author. Other than that, I'm pretty boring. I am from Cleveland, Ohio. I have a degree in Economics, a masters in Public Administration and a Juris Doctor. I am a former lawyer and college professor.

I enjoy writing, and now write full time. I recently started a publishing company and hope to help other Indie authors to get their books published.

In the Beginning is my debut novel. It is a mystery/quasi sci-fi that mixes fact with fiction. I'm hesitant to label the book science fiction because it really doesn't have the common elements of that genre. However, near the end of the book, there are some "other worldly" goings on. The novel mixes fact with fiction, and while reading it you'll find yourself looking up the ideas presented in my book to see if they could really be true.

The book tells the story of Justin Dickerson, a Biblical archaeologists who finds evidence of 2,000 year old manuscripts that may have been destroyed. The book follows her quest to find those manuscripts and what secrets lie hidden within them. My book deals with depression, family, and man's need for dominion over all things. The fact and fiction become intertwined when it answers Earth's ancient mysteries, such as the extinction of dinosaurs, climate change, similar history of cultures spread across oceans and time, and so much more.

The book is not fast paced, or action packed (no car chases, or running through city streets looking for clues), but it is a page turner and it presents a history of this Earth that has never been told in any other story.
