I was born and raised in Tampa Florida. I have worked in nutrition and natural food marketing, as well as recipe development for Whole Foods and Health Valley Foods. In 1992 I got married. In 1995 I had a child and in 1999 I freaked out from earthquakes in California and moved back to Florida. I have worked in the stock market as a financial advisor for 14 years and at the age of 49, I made the time to write my first book. My short story “Radiance” was published last winter in Literary Magic Magazine and also in the anthololgy “Wisdom of Our Mothers”.
My second book – Discovering Arugula – has been out since January 2011. I am a contributing writer for a women’s magazine called Brite Girl and I’m currently working on my first YA scifi novel with my daughter.

“Who Got Liz Gardner” is my first book and although much is based on real events and people, it is by and large a work of fiction. If you find certain features and details unrealistic and hard to believe, those are probably true!
