Biography
While raising four sons along with my husband, my days can be quite engaged while also working full time for a local home healthcare office in a Chicago suburb. Whenever my diligent schedule allows a spare moment, I spend that time writing as a freelancer for various marketing companies or composing upcoming novels. Other favorite pastimes of mine include reading, glass painting, cooking, and spending time with my family.
My first novel, Love For Angela, was published in 2004. At that time, I experienced one of the most exciting moments of my writing career, which was an interview by Marie Osmond on her radio show.
When reading one of my novels, one will find it is obvious that my main writing objective is to create credible characters with believable stories. This is why my novels are tailored to include relatable family issues, as well as heartfelt love and genuine passion.
~A Mom Like No Other~
Here we are, together, Mom,to celebrate your day.
It brings great joy to all of us
as we take this time to say.
You’ve been a mother we’ve admired,
and looked up to through the years.
You have always known just what to do
to wipe away our tears.
The memories of our childhood
are always fine to ponder
The happy home you made for us
is to others, only a wonder.
We appreciate your caring love,
your selfless and thoughtful way.
You give yourself so graciously
throughout each and every day.
Also true for our partners and kids,
Never is love barred there.
You have a heart with plenty of room.
Other mom’s would never compare.
So smile with us and be proud of yourself,
of the wonderful mother you are.
There’s no one else in the world like you.
You’re our mom and our shining star.

OUR ANGEL, OUR DAD
The holidays are almost here.
We’re missing you again.
In all the time you’ve been away,
things never seem the same.
Our hearts are weighing heavy
without your warming smiles.
We long to see and hug you.
It’s been such a long, long while.
We know that you’re with God
and all the angels up above.
But, hope that you still feel from us
our unconditional love.
You’re on our minds and in our hearts
through the busiest of days.
Your continuous devotion
gave us love so many ways.
Even though our eyes can’t see you,
We hope you’re still with us,
to guide your family day to day.
It’s our faith we now must trust.
So, please stay near. Be in our hearts.
Our need for you won’t end.
God must know who he has with Him.
It’s our Dad, our Angel, our Gem.
Miss you, Dad
