Award winning novelist, produced screen and TV writer, journalist.
So, since I have suddenly decided to get active on this site, here's a move complete biography:
I write everything and anything - and love doing it. Non-fiction or fiction, I think getting the voice right is the most important element of any story. So, I listen until I hear it clearly.
As a screen and TV writer, I've written 17 feature film scripts, had numerous options, and one indie film produced, as well as writing for ABC TV, HGTV, and TLC networks.
I’m a journalist and biographer. I have lots of experience asking the right questions to get the best answers that makes any story you want to tell really sing. I write book-length non-fiction from personal memoir to historical works, from self-help to business advice to medical research and travel. And I write articles, blogs, content, and speeches, too.
Then there’s fiction: I am a novelist myself, both conventionally and self-published. I write thrillers and mysteries and romance and literary fiction. I ghostwrite in an even wider variety of genres. I’ve received the Romance Writers of America award for best erotic novella.
When I’m not writing, I’m with my friends, family, cats – or all three. I love to travel and am particularly drawn to the desert and the ocean. You can find me watching baby bats and moon rise in Death Valley; driving around Iceland; enjoying a slice of chocolate haupia pie on Oahu’s North Shore; watching a horror movie – definite weakness for zombies; enjoying art installations and curating art exhibitions; or failing terribly at charades.
