MY PASSIONS

 

About the Author

For years I've been fascinated by the puzzle of why some people collapse under life's traumas and others emerge triumphantly stronger. In a job surrounded by social workers and in my personal life, I saw the effects of child abuse, incest, and violence. Yet amid the stark realities of addictions, anger, abandonment, denial and betrayal shone the bright light of strength, hope and forgiveness.

These triumphs of the human spirit over the ugliest of adversities became the basis for my stories. My passion for writing romance stories became an outlet for the powerful messages that people can overcome great difficulties, and that true love can turn life’s heartaches into happily ever after.

I love writing these dramatic stories. However, there's another side to my writing: humor. My dramatic stories have always contained touches of humor. In February 2010, I jump funny bone first into romantic comedy with a novella that's part of a Valentine's Day anthology. I had a lot of fun writing this story, and am pleased that more romantic comedy novellas are in the works from me in addition to dramatic stories.
