After living in New England for the first twelve years of my life, my family moved to Florida and never looked back. I spent many years in Orlando and then moved to Tampa, where am now with my wonderful husband of twenty years and two teen boys. I began writing Passion Fish after having a very vivid dream (basically the Passion Fish bar game chapters). When I couldn't figure out where the story should go from there, I 'hooked up' (sorry, fish pun) with Jessica McQuinn, plot queen extraordinaire, and together we created the novel. My second novel, Between the Lies, is a story that mixes international intrigue with plot twists and romance and is based on some real events of people I know who have had life-threatening "encounters" with the Mafia (one in Ukraine, the other in Indonesia). It's scheduled for release in October, 2012.
