I was raised in Los Angeles. Just a hop, skip, and jump to get to the movie studios. TV shows were often filmed on streets near where I lived. At the same time, science fiction fandom took off with the sudden interest in Star Trek. While other people were hooked on The Fonz, I was into television science fiction and going to conventions. The greatest thing was seeing a character like Nichelle Nichols on Star Trek in more of an action role and leaderhship role than most women were getting.
In 1989, I joined the Army Reserve and went active duty the same year, stationed in Washington state. In 1990, I was deployed to the first Persian Gulf War and then later transferred to Washington, DC. I finished my military duty with the National Guard in 2001. Now I'm a travel administrator.
How I Started Writing
I started writing when I was eight because my best friend had written a play. I created my own girl detective series with a character named Sharon McCall. I tried a variety of writing, including short fiction, poetry, non-fiction, journalism, broadcast journalism, screenwriting, newsletters, and even technical writing. But my love was fiction and novels.
What I Read
If it's action and adventure, I'm likely to be drawn to it like a moth to the light. But I'll read anything if the story looks like it might be good.
