About
Born: January 12, 1959. I grew up in a single-parent household and underprivileged neighborhood and have been an avid reader from an early age. My favorite childhood book: A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle. My favorite adult book: Whispers by Dean Koontz.
1977: Graduated high school, married, and birth three (3) beautiful children.
1999: My journey into writing became when I divorced my physically and emotionally abusive second husband. After the marriage ended, I became depressed and ultimately suicidal. With the Lord’s help, He led me to work through my depression by writing down my feelings and experiences. Soon a writer was born. My first book Lord, Let There Be Light chronicles my journey through my devastating childhood and an abusive adult relationship, where I ultimately emerge from darkness into the marvelous light to reclaim both my life and my sanity.
2000 – 2006: I started a non-profit organization for impoverished and abused women called Y.E.S., Inc. (Your Empowerment Source) that operated on a part-time basis Monday and weekends. In the meantime, I worked full-time to support my children, wrote part-time in the evenings.
1999 – 2014: I obtained my bachelor’s degree in Business while self-publishing a total of seven (7) books. I’m currently in the process of re-editing for traditional republishing:
• Lord, Let There Be Light (Non-Fiction) - 1999
• Becoming Whole Before Becoming One (Non-Fiction) - 2000
• Baggage Handlers: My road to letting go life’s painful luggage (Non-Fiction) - 2000
• Broken Promises, Hidden Love (Fiction) - 2012
• Prelude to a Distant Future (Fiction) - 2014
• Walk upon the Wings of the Wind (Fiction) - 2014
• Aphrodite’s Stand (Fiction) - 2017
Projects to be completed in the near future:
• Beyond the Cross – Non-fiction
• The Perfect Woman - Fiction
• The Mop Spider (a children’s book) - Fiction
• Precinct 666 - Fiction
All my self-published books have been revised and updated. Due to my never publicizing/marketing them, I believe they would be a great re-release as new manuscripts.

Prelude to a Distant Future
In order to save the future, four women must go back and kill the past.
“There are those whose existence in the past has created a devasting legacy in the present.”
Four 50-something dysfunctional women are involuntarily recruited by The Agency to kill foreign operatives that are a threat to America. However, this mission is not their greatest challenge. Traveling back in time to 1942 Nazi Germany in order to complete the assignment will be.
The women:
Widowed Gabriela Cyntrell, explosives specialist. In disobedience, she’ll take to the past the modern Mickey Mouse wristwatch her deceased husband left her. However, its presence in 1942’s Nazi Germany will drastically change her current future.
Belligerent Carlotta “Charly” Morgonelli, proficient at hand-to-hand combat. When a Soviet car bomb meant for her kills her husband and two children decades earlier, she’s a ticking time bomb looking for a fight. For her, the mission to take out Nazis fits the bill.
Incest survivor Rebecca Stanton, builder of weapons. Surviving – and mentally blocking – her turbulent childhood, Rebecca’s adult focus is on the one thing that liberated her teenage self from a depraved father: guns.
Jewish-born Corrine Eizenberg, creator of unique poisons. She still pines for the May-December romance with older coworker Sebastian Ensley who vanished 25 years earlier. During her trip back to 1942, she’ll re-encounter the German-born Sebastian – who is now her age.
According to no-nonsense African-American Junifer Morison, head of The Agency, she chose these women to be time-traveling assassins because 1)they’re all experts in their field, 2)all are 50-something Caucasian women who can fly under the Nazi's radar, and 3)all have no family –therefore expendable.
The plan: The women are given two weeks to eliminate their targets by utilizing resources only available in the past. No modern weaponry can accompany them to the past.
The dilemma: If the women do not succeed, present-day America will suffer an economic crash so catastrophic, that it will cease to exist by the year 2030. If they do succeed and return, The Agency has instructed Junifer to target them for termination in order to keep the time portal secret.
From the top-secret bureaucracy of the present-day United States government to the former sinister regime of Adolph Hitler’s army, Prelude to a Distant Future finds four unique women sent back to the past – and one woman in the present – fighting for their very lives. Their mission is clear: Avert a modern-day Holocaust in order to preserve life and liberty for their beloved United States of America – or die trying.
