Born in New York City and raised in Brooklyn, NY and Roosevelt LI, NY, she began writing about 20+ years ago, writing primarily short stories for young adults.  These stories depicted social ills that bothered her, such as homelessness, HIV and domestic abuse for starters.  She attempted to get her stories published, but after about 200 attempts with no promises in sight, became discouraged and quit writing for about 14 years. When her grandmother died in February, 2006, the lesson her death seemed to be teaching her is that if you have a dream, you had better realize it now before it is too late.  She always had a dream of publishing a novel, but the first thing she did was pen a poem to her grandmother, 'MY HEART'S SONG, through tears of grief.  That poem opened the floodgates to her writing career.  And she's been going strong ever since. In August 2007, she produced her first book, an anthology called 'THE PASSION WITHIN', with five other writer friends, and she formed her own publishing company, SAFE HAVEN PUBLISHING COMPANY, primarily to learn about the publishing business and to produce her own works.

  In April, 2008, she opened the company to accept outside authors and has now realized her dream of being an author and publisher.  Her next novel, 'SHE COULD HEAR THE SILENCE' is scheduled to be released by the company in 2013. She also edited the book, 'A JOURNEY TO WELLNESS: A Series of Collective Thoughts' by Debra D. Griffin, a book which chronicles Ms. Griffin's fight against breast cancer in words and pictures in 2007. Also in August, 2007, she began broadcasting her own radio show, AUTHOR SPEAK, where she interviews authors about their lives, passions, inspiration to write, and their projects.
