My Story

I earned my first check for writing at age 16 for winning a national poetry contest.

Raised on stories like Cinderella, I adored stories more like the 1998 movie Ever After. My favorite scene in that updated version of the Cinderella story is when Drew Barrymore, playing Danielle, rescues the prince from a band of gypsies.

My desire to create strong women role models comes from a deep-seated sense of rebellion.

When I was in grade school oh, so long ago, society expected girls to choose from a brief list of roles: teacher, nun, wife, and mother, nurse, secretary, waitress, or stewardesses. But I wanted to write. It was as though all other career options were considered unsuitable for good girls. To say I wanted to write was tantamount to declaring I wanted to be homeless or insane. An outlier. An outcast.
