A budding writer, a teacher, and adopted as a child, I have the opportunity to teach internationally working with diverse cultures. Having been a nurse for 35 years, I have worked through the entire healthcare system and now at the end of my nursing career I have turned to writing in hopes to leave a part of who I am to current and future generations. My writing conveys my values as a person believing having a loving spirit and an open mind can be instrumental in changing the world around us. I hope all of you find my books add to your life. If so, then I have accomplished what I had hoped.
