Writing romantic white collar crime thrillers, contemporary fiction, cozy mysteries, and historical fiction. I also enjoy blogging about wine tasting under the moniker Paso Perspectives.

After a successful career as a Vice President for a large international bank, I traded small business lending for creative writing. My husband and I enjoy spending time with family, traveling, camping, stand-up paddle boarding, and wine tasting. With three sons and four grandchildren, I am truly the most blessed person on the planet.  My claim has not been verified, nor has it been disputed.

With my publishing company, Paso Publishing, I publish my own work, offer seminars on how to self-publish, and present the annual Wine Country Book Fair - a marketing opportunity for Central Coast authors to gain exposure. Learn more about my writing journey by reading about me in my hometown newspaper, Paso Robles Press.


The Wine Country Book Fair is an annual event that gives independent local authors the opportunity to promote, and sell their books to a captive audience of both book lovers and wine tasters. It combines the  laidback ambiance of enjoying your favorite varietal, with the fun of chatting with a published author. Each year a different winery in Paso Robles sponsors the event. With book giveaways, swag,and prizes, this free to the public event will prove to be entertaining and informative.

Authors will be charged a nominal fee to cover advertising, setup, and credit card processing. Interested authors, please contact me to get on the event status email list.

Paso Publishing is the processing, and marketing, entity for my books. Through my publishing company I offer potential authors the benefit of my self-publishing knowledge. So many people have a book "inside them". Non-fiction, fiction, fantasy, memoir - the genres are endless. I want to help writers bring their visions to reality.  Paso Publishing is also the major sponsor of the annual Wine Country Book Fair.
