I'm a nursing professor and writer. I have published 3 nursing books, 2 picture books, a chapter book, 2 middle-grade books, an activity book, and a self-care book. My new middle-grade "Hannah and the Hobgoblins" will be released in January 2021. And "Dale Earnhardt: Destined to Race" what I wrote with my co-author R.S. Murphy will also be released in January. I am thrilled to share that I also have book contracts with Hurn Publications and Clear Fork Publishers. I love the beach and have written many of my books while out on Montauk. I love to read and enjoy painting, cooking, gardening, and hiking.

Writing Style

Some writers edit as they write and others edit after they finish their manuscript. I do both but mainly I let my thoughts and words flow freely so as not to interrupt my creative energy. There is no right or wrong you just need to figure out which style works best for you. Happy Writing!!!
