I first wanted to write when I was twelve. I had the most vivid dreams
and kept pen and paper on the nightstand to record them the moment I
woke up, before they faded.
But the dreams did fade, life intervened, and school, then commuting and work in New York City, pushed writing aside.
Armed with a BS in Management and an MBA
in Executive Management, both from St. John’s University, I
embarked on a career in the corporate financial services world. Work as
a Human Resources Director for several international firms kept me
hopping (and the travel wasn’t bad, either!).
But
the corporate world wasn’t enough for me. The more I studied
God’s Word, the more I wanted to teach and share what I learned.
I received an Adult Bible Studies Certificate from Moody Bible
Institute. Small group ministry grew into a teaching ministry. Writing
is yet another way I can share the joys of walking with the Living Word.
In 1999 we moved from New York to Florida, where I live with my wonderful husband, Russ (a
retired Deputy U.S. Marshal), and our two boxers, Romer and Lacy.
(They are rescue dogs, and though it took three years,
they finally have us trained!)
In addition to leading Bible studies at
church, I teach a weekly interdenominational Bible class of 150 women
from more than 40 different churches. I'm also a member of
American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW).
When I’m not teaching or
writing, I'm reading—frequently on our back patio in the warmth of
the Florida sun (yes, I do use sunscreen!)—and enjoying the
blessing of doing what I love most!
