About the Author

As a writer, teacher, traveler, and former journalist, I try to incorporate my unique life experiences and my own personal struggles throughout my work. Therefore I depend on each to make the scenes in my stories come alive and as I write, I live and breathe the characters that walk through them. These are characters who like me were born and raised on the Jersey Shore. They share a personality that is all their own and a certain edginess that often mixes with sincerity and heart at just the right moments. They are real people with real-life flaws, which I know are a lot like our own.
