I spent my summers in Pennsylvania visiting my grandmother as a child. She would always kick me out of the house so she could watch her soaps.

Sitting on her steps dejected and bored her neighbor, Mrs. Williams felt sorry for me and began giving me boxes of her old Harlequin romances. I would sit in a tree passing the time disappearing into the lives of rich men saving some poor woman.

I discovered the world of Greek Mythology in Jr. High and the idea of adding the two together began to take form (except I had to empower the woman, no more “poor me” stuff).

Twenty years, a marriage, three rugrats and a trip to Greece finally brought to life my series of the Aegean Chronicles.

A mixing of cultures, humor, sadness and weird sex takes you on an adventure in finding out that relationships don’t have to follow the path everyone thinks they’re supposed to go.
