In 2003, I made a decision to leave New York City after living here for twenty years. I wanted to see what it might be like to live somewhere else as an adult. I had only lived in New York since graduating from college.  On a Sunday afternoon, in the midst of making the decision to move, something called me to my computer. It kept nudging me at me. I listened and a story started to create itself. I have always been a songwriter and never imagined myself as a fiction writer. But 4 hours later I had the beginning of my first novel, Didn't See that Coming! It took me 13 years to write that book because I kept starting and stopping - believing I wasn't that kind of writer. 

Now, it is four books later. Am I some big sensation? No, but I love the process of writing. It makes me so happy. Recently, in the past 5 years I became interested in screenwriting. This past summer I finished my first screenplay. Yay! Took a long time but once again it fulfills my desire to write and to create.
