Part of me always knew I was supposed to be a writer. The fact that I was always writing stories and driving my grandmother crazy was a good indication. Of course there was also that whole incident in the 8th grade where I almost failed due to, “writing the perfect movie”. It's still a goal and thankfully, I ended up passing the 8th grade. My true passion in life is my writing. Corrupted as a child with “Happily Ever After” to the point that now, all my stories have to have one. Reading great stories and watching movies are also loves, they were the motivation for me to write and explore the “what ifs”. The road to my writing career has been an interesting one to say the very least. My first published work was a novella and since then I have gone on to write several other books in a variety of lengths. Check out my bookshelf as my title list will change and grow. In January of 2009 my best friend and fellow author Donna Michaels launched our company Cauldron Cat Entertainment. Soon there will be television and movies to check out as well as books. If only my 8th grade teachers could see me now...
