About the Author

I am a new author frustrated at trying to make a living as a voice over actress; I decided to pursue a hidden dream I have had since a child: to write! A couple of years ago, I tapped into those desires and my heart and mind reached forth together to find the solace and satisfaction to my being, that I crave and need.

I thrive on the outdoors and wildlife in all its wonder and glory up in the mountains, surrounded by trees and peaks hovering high above me. I hike. I ski. I snowshoe. I track the mountain lion, breathing the same air as they, communicating and appreciating their greatness. Animals have fed me with spiritual food all of my life that has filled me with adventure and purity of mind, body and spirit.

I live in the Susannah Pass Mountains, in West Hills, CA with my two feline friends – Heathcliff and Rasputin My goals? To continue my writing, and to keep involved with saving the wolf and other wildlife from human threats from greedy corporations and politicians. To preserve the land they need. To help make sure a balance is kept between man and beast.
