Biography

Unlike many authors, I didn't start out writing. Of course, I would occassionally dabble in a few things, but nothing of any significance. My friends and family have always known that I've always wanted to be a scientist, inventor, or an astronaut, going to places "no one has been before". Therefore, I studied science and engineering during my undergraduate RPI days, later to be commissioned as an Air Force officer. My time in the military was an experience I will never forget. Between traveling the world and my post graduate educational opportunities with the University of Oklahoma, I was fortunate to gain great insight about the human spirit. Never once, did I dream of becoming an author. Ultimately, I left the military to resume my life as an ordinary citizen. After resuming my technical career, I noticed military women, civilian women, stay at home mothers, executives, urban women, and suburban women all had similar issues, just different faces. After birthing my son, I began writing about my collection of experiences. Never did I imagine I would awaken the sleeping writer in me. From that day forward, a writer was born. The need to give voice to everything, I've learned, grew like a raging forest fire. I could not shut up! Between blogs and water cooler debates, I decided to publish my very own novel. Hopefully you will enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
