Born in New York City, I've worked as an editor/writer for 17 years. I freelanced as a manuscript reader for a science fiction/fantasy imprint, where I first began to enjoy fantasy fiction. Over the years, I have worked for business publishers as an editor of books, journals, and newsletters, and now work as a manager of client publications for a New York City company.

In my spare time, which includes writing fantasy, mystery, and mainstream fiction, I also write feature articles on behalf of a Long Island nonprofit organization. I live with my husband on Long Island.
