I spend my creative hours in gypsy-like fashion between my hometown in Florida, North Georgia, and by a waterfall on a trout stream in North Carolina. In addition to the Celtic Portal Series, I am currently developing five other young adult novels, an early reader Christmas book and a series of early reader folk tales. A little background: A graduate of the University of Florida, I have spent my pre-writing professional career in international business development, marketing, and commercial graphic design. I am an avid photographer, artist, writer, and world traveler as well as a lover of literature and knowledge. I retreat to work in my renovated vintage travel trailer office. A supporter of literacy, I am a volunteer teacher of English as a Second Language, have participated in career days, guest lectured in creative writing classes, and have expanded collections for media centers in underfunded schools.
