I am a mother of four, grandmother of two, surrogate of two dogs, three cats and throw in a few fish. When I am not writing I am... spending time with my family; figure skating; riding my bike (the peddling kind); being a "crazy camera lady" taking pictures of my beloved Gettysburg Battlefields; struggling with my alphabet issues of TBI, OCD, PTSD and ADD! Though very often frustrated by my disabilities, I strive everyday to better myself and the world around me.
One more book cover and the new covers will be complete! The 7th book is about 200 pages already, with another 200-300 to go and that will be, “THE END,” of the series. Woohoo! But not the end of the film or mini series. I am reading the first 6 books again, to make sure … More RELAUNCH!
Wow! There are so many levels to figure skating. Oftentimes, we have to go back to the basics, to add more of the isolated moves that we were not yet ready for – way back when. “Chin up, arch your back, chest over your knees, straight back,”…holy cow! These moves hurt because for so long … More FLY TO THE FINISH LINE!
More and more progress is made everyday on the pilot and the books. The 7th book is near completion and I cannot wait to have a completed series. I also plan to have at least six of the first episodes finished as we finish up production. I am already seeing the 2nd book, “Savannah’s Calling,” … More FROM BOOK SERIES TO BIG SCREEN!
The push is now to finish the 7th book. Summer Ray isn’t the only one who is rising from the ashes, but so is America. I have been making an outline to get some much needed ideas as to where the story needs to go. We head to Massachusetts to the Old North Church; across … More PRESERVATION!
I am working on finishing the 7th and final Summer Ray book in the series. It is kind of a happy and sad moment, like an end of an era. It will be just about 12 1/2 years of writing the book series and that is a long time. (To view the series, please click … More ITS PURPOSE!

Cathy and I are back to working steadily on the figure skating program for the film. In the video we are putting more pieces of the program together. It’s a lot of work, not gonna lie. But skating also requires off ice training too. It is the commitment, I am dedicated to. So, with all … More FIGURE SKATING APRIL 15, 2022
When I am gifted with such amazing reviews of the Summer Ray story, I can only thank God with happy tears. He helped me to touch people’s lives, through the use of fiction and non fiction, by using my imagination. This latest review is written by a woman who is older than me, yet incredibly … More THE STORY OF SUMMER RAY!
My goal now is to becoming a member of the Writers Guild West. Hopefully, I can do this once the first script is produced and distributed. This opens up a whole new level of dedication for me, to get this first script done. I never cared much about being a producer, although that is what … More THE FILM DISTRIBUTED!
Yep! As suspected, major changes are happening with Summer Ray. Although for over a year, I was very happy with the old title and logline, something else happened that showed me, neither had that “WOW” factor. Introducing the new title of the series and logline! The story will still encase the book series, as well … More MAJOR CHANGES!
