Nestled in the desert beauty of the Eastern part of the Pacific Northwest, I have discovered my passion for writing. 

My journey began with a love for books, I collect them, lovingly and carefully curate my personal library. It started with Agatha Christie, Edgar Allen Poe, and Sir Author Conan Doyle, and has grown to new authors such as Sue Grafton and Lucy Worsley and her in depth historical knowledge of authors such as Agatha Christie and Jane Austen.

With regarding to Ai — I am not adverse to using Ai completely. I see its usefulness in a variety of ways. I readily admit I use Ai for my graphics. I can’t afford an artist to do it for me and since I work full-time outside the home, I don’t have the time to do it myself. Creating it myself would be difficult to do, just consumes time I don’t have at the moment.  But, it is severely flawed at writing stories. I have tested the theory and have proven it to myself. With short blurbs or basic outlines, it’s merely okay, with writing long form story, it is garbage. It can’t remember the plot nor character attributes. It may write in complete and grammar correct sentences, but it doesn’t understand the nuance of language. It is still a robot and will behave as one. So this blog will never be written by Ai. All the stories I have written and will write has come from me, a human being, and my imagination. My guarantee and promise. If that changes (doubt it) it will be fully disclosed.

I have a deep love for storytelling. As a writer and author, I try to weave tales and narratives that captivate my readers, taking them on journeys through her experiences, dreams, and imaginations.

Behind all my achievements and creativity, my anchor is my family. I have been married to the ever-supportive Charles, and the proud mother to four wonderful sons. My home, much like a page out of one of my stories, is  constantly bustling with life, laughter, and the playful antics of six cats and two dogs.

At the heart of everything I do is a passion and deep-seated need for creating. Whether I am designing a room, painting a canvas, or penning down my thoughts, a small touch of my soul is in it. Through my work, I invite you into my world, a world where creativity knows no bounds and every corner holds a story waiting to be told.
