I've lived in NJ my entire life. And although I've spent the last decade or so working full time in the administrative field, my true passion is writing. I seek out the "extraordinary" in the "ordinary" person and writes about it for "Main Street" magazine (circulation of 100,000). I've also interviewed comic book biographers who told the stories of bestselling authors J.K. Rowling and Stephenie Meyer and rock legend Led Zeppelin for the internet magazine Cosmic Book News (http://www.cosmicbooknews.com), a web site that sees 6,000 hits a day.

In February 2010, I also had the distinction of being the first member of the Hawthorne (NJ) Writer's Group to have an essay published in the New Jersey based newspaper "Journal America" (circulation 250,000).

When I'm not writing my hobbies include blogging, reading, scrapbooking, and photography (specifically nature).
