WHY WRITE ROMANCE?
A friend once asked, “Why don’t you write romance?”
“Romance?" I said. "I love romance novels, and what's more, I love romantic movies--especially chick flicks."
And then it happened -- my eyes glazed over and my heart filled with unbridled emotion. I picked up my pen and found my niche.
In all your ways acknowledge [God} and he will make your paths straight. Prov. 3:6 NIV

Life can be challenging. That's why many people enjoy inspiration and encouragement to start their days. I turn to the Bible for answers, then, I gravitate toward humor and more recently--to writing romance.

Life can be challenging. That's why many people enjoy inspiration and encouragement to start their days. I turn to the Bible for answers, then, I gravitate toward humor and more recently--to writing romance.
Humor is great for encouraging, inspiring, and distracting even the saddest of us from our burdens. It's a far healthier escape than using drugs or other vices. And when we add humor to romance, we create a tale that will leave readers smiling for days.
A few Little-known facts about me:
- I spent 2 1/2 years in the Navy as a Hospital Corpswave. (See under Photo tab)
- While in bootcamp, I won the American Spirit of Honor Medal for "high example to comrades in arms." I still cherish the medal. (See under Photo tab).
- I have two degrees: BS degree in Psychology and Associate degree in Registered Nursing. I also earned two diplomas from The Institute of Children's Literature after retiring from nursing. Now, I gobble up writing courses like some people munch cookies, one right after the other.
- Two first place awards, two second place awards, and an honorable mention earned in several writing contests occupy space on my writing tool belt.
- Over the last two years, I've probably watched 100 romance movies while preparing to write my first romance book. They helped me to get into the rhythm of the pace, action, etc.
- And lastly, my favorite treat in the world is TCHO chocolate vegan ice cream, handmade by Love's Ice Cream in Grand Rapids, MI--my favorite flavor changes frequently. I'm allergic to dairy.

When I'm not writing a new tale, I can often be found in the quaint little resort town of Grand Haven, MI where white sand beaches, sidewalk cafes, musical fountains, and weekly live bands accent the waterfront. I also enjoy kicking back on the grassy knoll while watching boats traverse the channel to Lake Michigan.
