I have always loved to write. I write fiction and interview people for magazine features. I also have a children's book that will be published soon.

Biography
Like many writers, I am introverted. I spend a lot of time alone, writing. I'm not so forthcoming about the details of my life. I am married and I have eight children ranging in age from 23 to 7. I am also a social worker and it really helps me understand better the people and issues I am writing about. I love teaching creative writing in workshops, email courses and one to one. I love helping writers find their writing voice and bring out their potential.
Inspiration
I had some wonderful English teachers in school, including my fifth grade teacher who encouraged me to write poetry. My mother always was excited when I wrote. I love reading; I read all the time. I read fiction and well thought out essays. Through my writing, I try to understand the world better. I like to hunt metaphors and find connections between disparate images and concepts. I try to get the details just so. I often read my work aloud to set the beat. Writing is discovery; for me and I hope for my readers as well.
