If I Could, Would I?:
Past, in the Present Tense
From the very first page, “If I Could, Would I?” captured my imagination and refused to let go. This gripping novel is a true page-turner, crafted with such skill and insight that I found myself unable to put it down. The author’s ability to delve deep into the minds of her characters is extraordinary, and her ability to tap into the complexities of the human psyche is brilliantly portrayed.

I’m a dreamer–I always have been and always will be. I dream of all sorts of things, but my biggest was becoming an author. I had no idea how one would even begin to become an author and sell books. As things often do in my life, writing came to me in a most unusual way. Many years ago, I was having severe panic attacks, which turned into agoraphobia. I couldn’t leave my house for almost two years. I began to write. I never liked journaling, so I started writing books. I wrote about characters who were brave and courageous, with the ability to face any situation. In figuring out how they move around in the world, I somehow figured out how to enter back into mine.
I wrote myself out of my house, you might say. It took a few years before I had the courage to actually publish anything. Now, I am realizing and living my dream of being an author. I live in Oregon, close to my son and precious grandson. I enjoy long walks, outings with my friends, and spending time with my family. I love murder mystery TV shows and long conversations about how to navigate this crazy world we live in. I do my best to live every day with grace and gratitude.

Hi, everyone
Just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing. Hope you're liking my new webpage. I love it! I just got done recording the audio book for "If I Could, Would I? Past in the Present Tense." It was so much fun. The editors are now working on it and, hopefully, it will be available in the next 2-3 weeks. I also booked a book signing for November, which should be a blast. I love talking to everyone who attends and getting to know them. So, things are moving right along. Yay! I'll write more soon. Take care.
