SynergEbooks author. 2009 Next Generation Indie Book Awards Finalist, 2008 Eric Hoffer Award Finalist, 2008 Indie Excellence Book Award Finalist, and 2007 Hollywood Book Festival Honorable Mention.
After spending most of my life in the entertainment industry (you can catch me in Rags to Riches episodes, the educational film I Am Joe's Ear, and some very bad movies and cable shows that shall remain unnamed), I decided to make a career change and go back to school. And yes, I really was a Disneyland performer, which for some reason seems to impress the heck out of a lot people. Ah, the stories I can tell.
I recently signed multiple book contracts with SynergEbooks. To date I have an adult fantasy trilogy, an adult paranormal fantasy, and two tween/teen books in publication. My young adult sci-fi eBook and audio book, as well as the 2nd and 3rd eBooks in the Desert Magick series are scheduled for release in 2010.
I live in the Arizona desert with my very supportive husband, our insane parakeets, and numerous wild critters that frequent our neighborhood. I am currently at work on another book. |
