An avid reader since I was a child, I have always been drawn to a good story well told. I loved being able to explore other worlds and live other lives through these stories. So, I began writing as a means to give my imagination a home upon the page. For me, well-written fiction has the power to teach and transport, and that’s what I aspire to do every time I sit down to create a new character, setting or story.

The first time I visited Venice as a wide-eyed teenager, I knew I was supposed to buy Murano glass, but I had no idea why.
Buy books on Amazon
All I knew was that I was whisked to the famous “glass island” on an overcrowded, stinky boat. I waited behind two dozen American and Japanese tourists to pay an exorbitant price for a little glass fish—what a bewildering experience!
Still, it was the artistic traditions of the world that inspired me to study the past. Living in Europe and Latin America, I realized that in many places, centuries-old craft traditions are still living traditions.
So began my quest to discover craftspeople passing on a special kind of knowledge to the next generation.
