I took ballroom dancing lessons.

I earned a B.A. in Psychology at Tufts University and an M.A. in Sociology at Boston College. The motivation behind the M.A. was sheer greed. My husband was just starting law school.

My passionate world of writing is about letting go of mental structures and simply having fun. By giving myself that freedom, wonderful things happen. The story unfolds in new and exciting ways.

Maybe that’s why I love writing. It allows my emotions and deepest feelings to surface. When I’m writing, my soul is unfettered. There’s no emotional denial, no holding back. My characters are allowed to explore their lives in ways that open up my own heart again. Hopefully my readers will enjoy their stories.

I’ve been writing stories since I was nine years old.

It all started with a birthday gift: a book from my beloved Oma. And then another, and another—for every birthday that followed. From Anne of Green Gables to The Chronicles of Narnia and Heidi, I devoured novels and soon felt inspired to write my own.

My passion for storytelling only grew. Early fictio -
