She is an avid fan of The X-Files and loves writing fiction, eating great food and drinking red wine. She was a reporter, trade magazine writer and corporate communications specialist before becoming a full-time novelist. The Fifty List was is her first full-length novel and she absolutely loved writing it. She started on the sequel, The Other Side of Fifty, moments after finishing the first book. The third book in the trilogy, Fifty More, is now available on Smashwords and its various affiliates. Earlier this year, she released The Warrior and the Healer - A Medieval Irish Tale. Set in 12th Century Ireland, it's historical romance, kinda on the sexy side, featuring a strong young heroine, and a warrior-for-hire with a mysterious past, somehow linked to the nobility of Ireland. Both share the cause of fighting for their ancestry after the Norman Invasion of 1171. Great history, great romance, great angst, great sex!view less
