Biography

I presently live in Northern California – Wine Country. I am a writer and have just finished my first novel and am presently working on a second.

I love life and live it to the fullest. I love laughing with friends and boating on warm summer days.

I’ve recently been diagnosed with Breast Cancer. My Oncologist has informed me that it’s the most invasive type and wants to begin treatments immediately. He also said because my Her2 is positive, I am not a candidate for a lumpectomy first. The healing time takes about 2 ½ months for that and the Cancer may spread into my other organs if I wait.
