Finding my Path

And then God, with his wonderful sense of humor, threw a monkey wrench into my plans. He inadvertently (on purpose) sent a gifted psychic into my life. That chance meeting had me taking my theater background and applying it to writing.

Suddenly, I was attending weekly writing workshops where I honed my skills in story telling and character development. Not only were those years with other talented writers my happiest but my most productive. I completed two novels and three screenplays during my tenure with the group.

And then God's sense of humor kicked in again. He added another shift to my world. I started writing romance novels--the paranormal kind. And that as they say, was history. Umm, not quite.

My unexpected  meeting with a psychic also ignited a love of Metaphysics and I began a side-career as a Spiritual Guidance Counselor. Using the art of Astrology, Numerology, and Tarot, I helped clients discover their soul's mission here on Earth, and hopefully, through that knowledge, joy, love, and happiness were the rewards.

Though I'm retired now, it's still all about the writing--and the acting skills.  I've come full circle, you see. I am light years away from where I started, but God has brought me back to pursuing a love of words on the page.  It's just now, I'm writing the words and someone, like you, is enjoying them.  Thanks to all my fans. Your love of romance and the paranormal has made us worthy of the title: kindred souls.  

Like most of us, where we start out is rarely where we finish. And most always, where we end up is far from where we thought we'd go. I began performing at the age of seven and spent many decades in theater and film. And back then, I thought, this is it. This is the career.
