Tell us a little about yourself.

I grew up in Silver Spring, Maryland, and still lives there today with my daughter. Although I suffers from a mild case of cerebral palsy, she has continued to succeed, reach for her dreams, and meet all of life’s challenges with the intent of living a normal and happy life.

Growing up, I was always artistic and musical. I wrote songs, played the piano, sang, and danced. My writing career developed from her passion for writing, an activity that she has enjoyed since the age of seven. I decided to put this passion to work with my collection of
children’s books and short stories.
