For over 20 years I was a successful business woman. My primary passion was the retail industry with a focus on product development and merchandise buying. I have traveled the world over for business and pleasure, enjoying all the nuances of each country and the culture. Luckily, I can say, there isn't much that I haven't done in this life. Now, I am a stay at home mom guiding my child through the garden of childhood, trying to make it through toddler-hood to the harvest of adulthood...when this is accomplished, I can say my job is well done. Writing has always been a passion, but it never quite made it to the list of "must do". Being a mom has pushed me into a creative explosion of using my time wisely and making it count for something notable. Now, I am no longer writing specifications for new products, I am writing from my heart and having fun with non-fiction, poetry, and children books.
