About me. I grew up running the beaches of a barrier island on Florida’s east coast. An island brat, I spent more time climbing weathered oaks and chasing alligators than playing with the dolls my family gave me. I’ve always had stories in me. Some teachers and adults chose to call them lies. But piff, here I am still sharing them. I married a Marine, a man I’d known since I was fourteen and had actually met when I was eleven. I’m fortunate to have lived many places and traveled to the states and countries I didn’t live. Government service over, I moved back to that barrier island and spend time writing contemporary fiction weaving my experiences into my stories. My first books have heroes and heroines in the military or government service. But, I’ve started on a new series of books with collections of short stories. I’m looking forward to writing more strong heroines and the men they love, and many, many short stories.
