Biography

A little about me; I am a woman who cherishes moments in time – memories can be our greatest of gifts or our most devastating of struggles… Given the lesson of life; we learn something about ourselves with every memory we hold dear; good or or bad.  I am a mother of three wonderful young adults and grand-momma of two very impressive little people. I have been blessed with a loving husband who supports me in all that I do. The ups, the downs, the pain and happiness it has all made me who I am today and today much like yesterday - I am so very blessed.
​
I love writing, it is something that I have done all my life.  I love romance and enjoy writing about the hardships of love, and the endurance of time and space. And history; it enriches our very lives, what's not to love about it. I was born the baby of seven children in Boston, Massachusetts, USA and partly raised on Cape Breton Island, NS, Canada. I have been surrounded by rich history all my life; I began, "To dream of our past, present and future."  Where we come from, how we got here and why. “Choices,” – sometimes making a choice and taking a chance no matter how small or big is all it takes. 
My work; written from my heart to yours - may you enjoy. 

Smashwords Interview

Do you remember the first story you ever read, and the impact it had on you?
We had recently moved out to the country, being the youngest of seven I had to move from all that I knew to a new and strange place. My sister thirteen years my senior came to visit the following year, she was an avid reader of romance novels. When she returned home, I found a romance novel she left behind – a paranormal romance. Lord above I was hooked, I no doubt should not have been reading such content at the age of eleven going on twelve; and I did my best to hide it away. I held onto that book for as long as I can remember. Declining Friday night fun with friends begging off saying I wasn’t feeling well to stay home and cuddle up in bed and re-read this book.
This is when I fell in love with books, and story telling... the author's ability to take me from my everyday life, make me forget about my worries and troubles... if even for a moment, was in a word inspirational.
How do you approach cover design?
Learning about your audience, finding out what they want and catering to the imagination of your reader. I know that I need to be able to connect on some level with a potential reader, that it must be able capture the attention, be appealing to the eye; be relevant to the story you are telling – a foundation. It is after all the very first thing a potential reader takes notice of and as an author you need to appeal to the visual. I feel it is the difference between someone taking the time to read the cover and learn what your story is about – and passing it by without another look.
