My book of poems medaled in the 2020 Jenkins International eLit Awards in Poetry as did one of my novels in the 2011 Jenkins Living Now Awards of Inspirational Fiction. Since then, in 2018 I published a sequel to my first novel. My work as an editor interviewer chronicled in a collection of interviews with authors has drawn praise (2014) as has my collection of essays on a variety of timely topics (2015).
I hold a B.A. in English from the State University College at Albany (SUNYA), an M.A. in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of Nebraska, and have done post Master’s study at the University of Michigan. I am a licensed Speech-Language Pathologist in the State of New York and reside in the Mid-Hudson Valley in New York State where she is the creative lead and owner operator of a small publishing company.
