Presently residing in Northern England, married, mother of three adult children, and five beautiful grandsons. Started writing after reading what could have been her 3ooth novel - suddenly realizing, she should write! And began doing so at the age of 22. What started out as a single novel, grew into two, and then three. Thus, her trilogy, Webster Fields. Followed by Aphrodisiac.

Currently she is busy writing an online drama series, known as, The Beauty of Man and Woman - or better known as B.O.M.A.W. Where the numbers of readers are growing as the addiction to it spreads.

Future projects include another short story to add to her others, "He'll Come For Me." A thriller, "The C.E.O." a corporate tale with an interesting twist. And soon to it I will be adding, "Don't Forget The Dream." A nightmarish horror, hopefully no one will forget. And another historical novel, "Saorsa"
