Biography

I was raised in Washington DC. I am a mother and a grandmother who loves travel,reading,writing and walking in wind or rain. I collect info about anything and everything about the universe. I think of myself as a considerate and helpful person, and recently I have decided I like myself.

Inspiration

I have always wanted to be a writer, but like many others I let everyday life stop me from getting started. While traveling on trains all over North America, Europe and part of Asia, I realized that I could incorporate the experience into several different genres. Now, I am also inspired by other authors I have met in person or on the Net.
