Note from the author
While motherhood, a career in healthcare, and community volunteering were all very rewarding, none quite fulfilled my creative bent. And then, a few years ago, a pivotal moment occurred. On the heels of a break from healthcare consulting, I quite suddenly had to care for an ill parent. The situation made me pause and reflect and I pursued my writing more seriously. I am thoroughly enjoying this new adventure and excited to have produced two works of fiction, MAHJONG AT MARA'S and THE CONVENTION OF WIVES. My novel, INDIGENOUS, will be published in October 2026.
