When I was a corporate maven many years ago my client was married to a famous author (don’t tell that I had no idea who Danielle Steel was). After meeting her I flippantly said, “I could write a book”. A colleague dared me to do just that and a 30+ year career was born. I started with romances but with the help of a smart editor I was guided into thrillers. That’s where I found my passion and now I am a USA Today and Amazon best selling author. I have been writing full time for over twenty years, teaching writing at programs such as the acclaimed UCLA Writers Program, speaking for business, philanthropic and writing groups across the country. To make my thrillers as real as possible I have taken and graduated from the DEA and ATF Citizen’s colleges and the Navy’s Leaders to Sea program. I am a patient/family advisor at my local hospital after being a cancer patient myself. I have been married to a wonderful man I met in high school who is now a superior court judge, and I am the proud mom of two sons.
