Bio
⇾ about me:
I emerged from the womb penning novels. I have a degree in psychology and my fiction has been published in ten publications in the US and overseas. I am part hermit and currently reside in exile with my menagerie of wild animals: my two red wolves, my two deranged felines, my four blood-thirsty bunnies, and my dearest Beldoe.
I keep a Twitter of my daily progress and a more formal blog at Blogger .
