In early childhood I exhibited a proclivity to the arts.  It was a rewarding and indeed a
challenge, when the children of the neighborhood would gather at my doorstep and wait
patiently for the next episode of whatever my mind decided for that particular day in
story-time.

Throughout my school years the Drama Club was my first love. I was  honored to become president of the Drama Club, which in turn afforded the opportunity for the club to go
on the road so to speak.

Additionally, I scripted and directed plays.  Here my aspirations  to write began.

Upon graduation I left to attend  The Pasadena Playhouse, College of Theater Arts in
California. I auditioned for the producers and directors the first day.  My choice was a solo
performance of Joan of Arc, at the time of her imprisonment.  When I heard the applause,
it made me very happy.

Learning the refinements of television, motion picture and stage were eye openers and
worthwhile lessons in themselves. Whether it was practicing fencing on the back-lot or
learning ballet, it was a wild and wonderful time.

It still is my first love.

I am an avid horsewoman. In the past I have broken and trailed horses and traveled the
rodeo circuit.

My jet-black quarter horse, Shane could spin on a dime in the Barrel Race.  What an overflow of emotion within, when I rode in the Grand Entry under the colors of the flags.
I worked with Shane to dispel his fear and hatred of men, a result of his abuse by a previous owner.  Shane was a proud horse with his head held high. as was mine, as we
won rewards.

I love to write and have been doing  this most of my life.  I loved the series, Xena Warrior
Princess and looked forward to taking the characters on my treks.  I am also happy the character of Sea Troll as well as my other characters  have touched many.  Having created them, I feel wonderful knowing others love these fantastic characters too.

I enjoy writing everyone of my characters, it is a good feeling to take them on adventures
while also taking the reader with them.
