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. I am currently busy writing my third novel. Stay tuned.
