I always knew I could write-but, never knew I was a writer. The fact of the matter was it was until my mentor my H.S. creative writing teacher gave me the guidance that I was indeed a writer! From that point on all I wanted to do me was a writer like my heroes: Agatha Christie, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Charles Dickens. In 1991 I earned a associate's degree in Teenage and Children's writing from the Institute of Children's Lit in Conn. In 1991 I won the Golden Poet Award from the International Society of Poetry. I have several poem published in various poetry books in 1990's. I wrote, copyrighted and made my own poetry book based on the musical The Phantom of the Opera . The Haunting of Donan Castle is my first novel and is available on Amazon.com
