What is the aim or goal of your writing: I write because I have to write. Characters and their stories began to accumulate in my head years ago, the same kind of stories I liked to read. The urge to put those stories on paper grew until I knew I had to write. If I have any success at all, it must be attributed to good friends willing to offer advice and to my husband who encouraged me all the way. His pride in what I do keeps me at the computer to record the miseries and joys of the characters that people my novels.

May inquiries be sent to you about doing workshops, readings: Yes
I frequently do workshops and presentations and make myself available to speak at a variety of functions. However, like most presenters, I ask for remuneration, and for travel expenses if any distance is involved.
