Army Brat through and through. Allowed me to live all over the world and learn that there is more than me out there. My first love was theatre, but gave it up for a "real" job and became an RN. My first love in nursing was psychiatry. Maybe a bit theatrical but emotional pain can be just as haunting, (if not more) than physical pain. After 20+ years needed a challenge and transferred to the operating room and wow! what a challenge, but love it just the same! And now my book... For years I've wanted to write and always had ideas. From "Being a divorced woman living with my children", to "Why would I buy Dr. Laura's book on the 10 mistakes women make when it comes to men when I've already made them all", to children's stories....and now "When Innocence Dies" that is a finished and complete novel....full of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. And writing about what I know best. Mixing the psyche of the brain with the blood of life....writing about the passions and sorrows of living and dying.
