About Me

Dear Readers,

I’m glad you stopped by to visit, and I hope you will look up my books.  When I grew up on Staten Island, New York, my favorite past times were visiting the public library and reading books.  I read a lot of different books from mysteries, biographies, historical fiction, to the classics. I studied literature and creative writing in college, and I graduated with a B.A. in English from St. John’s University. For awhile I worked in advertising and public relations, stayed home with my son while he was young, and returned to college to obtain an M.A. in Teaching from Montclair State University, in New Jersey.

While working as a full-time teacher, I continued to pursue my dream of getting my work published. To date, I have had five novels including a western historical, two adult paranormal novels, and two young adult paranormal novels published. I anticipate a few short stories and another young adult novel published in the near future. I am also working on a memoir.

I am a member of the Liberty State Fiction Writers and the Write Group of Montclair.

My interest in the American West led me to research and then write about the pioneers along the Oregon Trail. That became the basis for my western historical, Wildflowers, published in 2012.

 
Book 1 – Can Georgina resist temptation from the young ghost of a Civil War soldier haunting her grandmother’s antique shop in Ocean Grove, NJ?
Johanna Wade, daughter of a Methodist minister, longs for adventure as she travels the Oregon Trail in 1848. Little did she expect to fall for Ryan Majors, the trail guide, a rough-hewn mountain man and trapper, who showed her more than how to survive in the wilderness. Majors has his own motivations for going West which had more to do with vengeance than romance, but soon he discovers how precious his “wildflower” is as together he and Johanna overcome the rigors and dangers of trail life.
Kay, psychic and stained glass artist, returns to New Jersey and faces danger from the past, but with angels among us learns the truth and regains a romance she’d given up on years before.
Book 2: Georgina is once again faced with haunting but this time at her family’s B&B in Ocean Grove, New Jersey, and it’s very personal.
Reincarnation Romance: The heat is on when a rogue agent and a fiery journalist reunite to solve a murder mystery involving stolen art in Mexico.
