After working as a nursery school teacher, a bookkeeper, a pharmacist's assistant, and a model/waitress, I was finally able to follow my dream of pursuing a more creative career. I wrote my first book about twelve years ago. Rather lengthy, it was summarily rejected by several publishers, largely due to its sheer volume. Floundering in self-doubt, I put the writing aside and undertook a new artistic endeavor---repainting fashion dolls. But it wasn't enough just to repaint the dolls and dress them in period costumes. There had to be a story behind every doll! Some have never been completed, but each story has the potential to become much more. It was through this process that I learned that as much as I love words, I didn't need to use so many of them. The stories written for my dolls often attracted more attention than either the dolls or the costumes, and I received so much positive feedback about them that I was given new confidence in my writing skills. Due to the encouragement of clients, friends, and even absolute strangers, I was convinced to try writing again.

Instead of going the traditional route this time, I decided to try self- publishing, most impressed by the fact that I would have complete creative control of my novel from cover to cover. I designed the cover artwork, and am entirely responsible for the look and the feel of the book. My debut novel, The Price Of Eden, is a historical romance, combining my love of romance and history. Set in Florida, it is most of all a love story between half-Seminole Hunter Prophitt, and Cait McCandless, a spoiled New Orleans belle. I am currently working on the sequel to The Price Of Eden, entitled, Never Surrender, which will be available soon.
