  I grew up in a culturally rich, bilingual home which included unique holiday celebrations and wonderful ethnic foods passed down through generations. My favorites are the sweets of course.

  An educator for over twenty years, my passion includes teaching, reading, and writing. An avid reader who enjoys romance, mystery, and suspense, my stories will never be what you expect. Teacher by day, romance writer at night produce an active imagination I share with each of you.

  Join me on this journey…

  Dream big dreams—they’re always in reach, just grab on and enjoy the ride.

  C.B.—You’ve been with me from the beginning: a mentor, cheerleader, psychologist, social media tutor, and so much more. You took me under your wing at WCES and haven’t stopped since. Thank you for the constant support and inspiration. Your friendship means the world to me.

  K.T.—Certain people come into your life for very specific reasons. From day one, we were not only colleagues, but best friends. Thank you for always listening, the prayers and guidance, and for putting up with the “sass” I dish out too often. The nickname you gave me fits so well.

  Bloggers—The Book Enthusiast, Book Plug Promotions, HEA Bookshelf, Reading Addiction VBT, RomCon Blogs, Tasty Book Tours, Truly Schmexy Girl/PR, XPresso Book Tours, Author Cate Masters, InkslingerPR, and InD’tale. Thank you for the support and guidance throughout the daunting marketing process. My questions were mundane, but you answered and encouraged every time. Without the hard work all of you do, authors would have a hard time connecting with readers. From one avid reader to another, thanks for helping us find the next great read!

  Beta Readers—Amazing writers and readers, my heartfelt thanks to the many Scrib members who provided thorough critiques. I’m in awe of your stories, poetry, and literary genius. Your thoughtful insights pushed me to be a better writer and the constant encouragement helped me get through the zany writing process. A wonderful group of experts and professionals who know what it takes to write a great story. Thank you!

  D.P. Lyle, M.D.—You are proof of the power of social media. I never would have found out about Crime & Scene Radio or the consulting service you provide for authors if it hadn’t been for a recommendation I received via Twitter. Thank you for your insight and perspective about guns and resulting injuries.

  E. Pepper, M.D.—My family practice doctor, thank you for taking time out of your very busy schedule to make sure all my questions were answered. You rock!

  H.A. Puttgen, M.D.—YOU ARE AMAZING! Whether you drew the short straw or not, I appreciate the nearly hour-long phone conference and multiple emails you answered. I wasn’t sure anyone would respond to my requests for assistance, but you did. You explained medical terminology and critical care methods with such clarity that I actually understood it. I don’t know if you’ll ever read this book, but if you do, I hope I did you proud.
