I was born in Paterson, New Jersey, but grew up in the West Park area of Cleveland, Ohio. I now lives with my husband, Kevin Wohl, in a small town northwest of Chattanooga, Tennessee.  I love the Chattanooga Choo Choo because of its history.

 I have two sons, two daughters-in-law, two granddaughters, two step-sons, two step-grandchildren, and two brothers (but 12 is my lucky number). Writing has been a joy to me since my teenage years when I wrote long, eventful, and funny letters to my brothers while they served in the Air Force. Letters to my family and friends in other states were more like short stories than quick letters. Now I write  the stories that come to me before drifting to sleep at night.
