About Me
This is my life! Well, my writing life.
Yes. I was one of those strange children, although I prefer precocious to strange, who began writing while in grade school. New England winters are cold, I needed indoor activities!
A former member of Women in Communications, I’m included in, “Who’s Who and Why of Successful Florida Women – 1985.” I am so dating myself! During those early days received numerous awards including: The Displaced Homemaker Award from the Miami-Dade county YWCA, a Certificate of Commendation from the Dade County Commission for service to the community. I also received a Majority/Minority Award, courtesy of The Women’s Advocacy Group of South Florida. The lovely crystal giraffe was awarded to women each year who stick their necks out in order to further the cause of women. During those years I focused on women’s issues.
My poetry has appeared in Ion Books, Inc. And a chapbook entitled “Women in Love” was published by South Florida University Press.
As a producer/writer for a Miami PBS station I wrote. And then I wrote – almost twenty romance novels, both historical and contemporary and one memoir…Remembering Reuben Kincaid. (My late husband wanted his children to know him...in his own words. More or less.)
I’ve belonged to, or do belong to several awesome writers’ organizations: Novelists Inc., RWA, Orange County Romance Writers, South Florida Fiction Writers and the Florida Writers Association.
