Fiction is my escape from the chaos of life. I enjoy reading many genres from fantasy to science fiction, especially from Indie authors who self-published their books. My imagination started brewing, and a concept appeared from my love of music and family. On a whim, I began writing Consonance in May 2011. I completed the story line in September 2011. However, I am a full-time mother and nurse so the editing was a pain. I took a break from the novel to work on other ideas related to the series. Finally, I finished Consonance in mid-August of this year. For me, reading is a delightful reprieve but writing transcends a good book diversion. The experience is like commuting on a New York City subway; diverse people enter and exit the scene, sometimes delays and derailment occur during creativity, and a train of thought is missed or passed over on occasion. In the end, an arrival at my destination is what I hope to accomplish, and I invite readers to take that ride with me.
I’m a proud graduate of Rutgers University School of Nursing and a Professional Registered Nurse specializing in Perinatology. When I’m not immersed in the joy of caring for growing families, including my own, you’ll find me reconnecting with the things that ground me — music, reading, and now, writing.
Reading offers me a momentary escape from the demands of my profession, but writing takes me somewhere deeper. It feels like navigating the New York City subway: characters and ideas rush in and out like passengers, some staying only for a moment, others riding with me for miles. There are delays, detours, and unexpected stops, but the journey always leads me closer to the stories I’m meant to tell.
Join me on this literary ride, where words become tracks and characters travel toward moments of challenge, transformation, and unforgettable destinations.
