I have been writing since I was in 3rd grade, starting with clumsy words of poetry and prose. Regardless, the words kept coming quite prolifically.
For more than two decades, I had a successful career in non-profit public relations and communications, where I regularly employed my writing skills. When sidelined by illness, I mourned the loss of my career for a long time, until I was finally able to turn the kaleidoscope and see a colorful vista of new opportunities.
I am a vocal advocate for mental health education and extremely outspoken about the stigma associated with mental disorders and illness. I am also a passionate believer in animal rescue, fostering, adopting, and spay-neutering.
I am in the process of finishing a true crime novel and do some freelance work. I write 3 blogs...My truest love is still poetry.
