                                             AUTHOR BIOGRAPHY

I was born in 1970 in Redwood City, California to a navy sailor and a housewife. My creativity
began to emerge while writing poems. After high school graduation, I continued to write in the
form of metaphorical editorials in a private journal. I entered into the high tech industry and took
business writing courses at San Jose State to enhance my professional skills. Writing letters of
recommendation, executive correspondence
, and presentations became my daily tasks for over
a decade. While taking a sabbatical in late 2006, I accepted a challenge and wrote the novel,
West Coast Lady. In 2008
, the children’s chapter book, Sir Licksalot & The Maverick Fools was
published.

Creative writing is a passion I enjoy immensely. I am actively involved in youth organizations and
spend my family time with my son and our miniature dachshund. We currently reside in the land
of opportunity, the Silicon Valley.
