About Me

I have been writing stories since the age of ten.  I have enjoyed a varied career in the Theatre and I've directed, written and produced, several Plays, Musicals, I've contributed articles to various entertainment magazines, and founded the LGBTQ+ Theatre Company in New York.  I have  now come full circle and returned to my first love, writing Children's stories.  One never knows when, or where Life will inspire you; A SNOWFLAKE NAMED PEA was inspired by a hospital visit when I was working with a Ballet company and we were performing at a hospital for sick children, some who were battling cancer.  As they watched, I was moved by their joy and courage. This made me consider my  own mortality and my belief that nothing ever ends, that every living thing on Earth only transcends into something else in Nature.  The next morning I started writing A SNOWFLAKE NAMED PEA, with the hope to help terminally  ill children better understand that, it is okay to let go when their time comes to transcend.  However, this is a story everyone can enjoy.  It is a tale reminding us to be present in the moment, delight in the journey, be brave in our adventures,  find  comfort in Love, and to not be afraid to let go when you need to,  because you and Life will always go on.
