When a veteran needs his parents' help raising his Amerasian children, his mother must learn to love them, or lose his love. This story was a semi-finalist in Screenplay's pitch competition.

Garage Sale is adapted from my story of the same title, published originally in Woman's World magazine.
A divorcing couple spends the weekend dismantling their household and marriage, only to uncover the secret tearing them apart.

How We Got Started

The event that inspired my first novel took place at the perfume counter of a department store. That's why I'd like to get a store interested in selling my book or hosting a book signing.

The event that precipitated Unconditional Surrender occurred when I was an art therapist working with children in Philadelphia. The story is set there.
