Welcome to my website!
The Author
Born in Los Angeles, California, my walk with the Lord began at a young age. Raised in a home with a God-fearing grandmother, who loved the Lord with all of her heart, I gave my life to God at 10 years-old. Although I strayed in young adulthood, I found my way back home. All praises to God for his grace and mercy!
I am a Christian Fiction writer, adjunct college professor, mental health nurse, and mother of two. Approximately six years ago I started journaling as a form of self-therapy. Prayer and journaling notes brought peace and hope back into my life. Writing a novel was a gift from God--not something I had planned to do. While sitting in front of my computer one day, I used those notes to type several chapters. That was the beginning of my first novel, "Reflections of a Quiet Storm." After writing 9 chapters, I stuffed the manuscript in a drawer and it stayed there for six months. The story, based on some of my true life experiences, strummed too many painful chords--loud and clear. Through the Lord's compassionate guidance, I completed the manuscript and submitted it to two publishers. Jessica Tilles, Chief Editor and owner of XYP, published the novel in March 2009. In addition to writing novels, I also write articles on health-related issues. My articles have appeared in Advance for Nurses Magazine, the Los Angeles Sentinel Newspaper, and several online magazines.
NEW PROJECTS
My short story will be published in the anthologies, Gumbo for the Soul: Women of Honor, Pink Edition. Release date is scheduled for late 2010. I am currently working on my second novel.
