From a young age, I was captivated by the power of words no surprise, as my mother was a librarian and my father a college professor with his own library of over 4,000 books. My journey as a writer began in grade school, where my love for poetry blossomed and led to my first publication in a school journal. Throughout a successful career in property management, I continued to write poetry, earning recognition from multiple literary publications. Now retired, I'm living on a small farm in Delaware with a menagerie of animals including four beautiful alpacas, two awesome dogs, a flock of silkie chickens and a very independent rabbit. When not tending to my enchanted farm, I am dedicating most of my time to writing and am currently at work on my debut novel.
