My tiny bio...
Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, I am the youngest of four in a rambunctious Irish-American family. Obsessed with books, I completed my first short story during “rest period” in first grade, first novel at eighteen, first rejection at eighteen. It took me too long to believe I could be a writer, and longer to convince anyone else. I earned my BA at U/Mass Boston, married the love of my life, raised three perfect children while earning my third degree black belt in Parker Kenpo Karate. I play classical piano, love summer road trips, and am a fanatic for warm water ocean and READING. Currently, I'm writing a thriller while earning my master's in the University of North Carolina at Wilmington's English Graduate Program.

Himself and meself in 2019 when I was still a blonde and prior to the kitchen remodel. It's green and yellow with pineapple motif now. Very retro.

In 2013, being awarded my 3rd Degree Black Belt in American Parker Kenpo Karate with my teacher, Kyoshi White. The experience taught me invaluable lessons. Most important lesson? Mental toughness is a choice.
