Born in Atlanta, Georgia and with an associate's degree in piano acquired at fifteen, my original dream to become a musician-singer-songwriter-actress got derailed when I was seventeen by circumstances beyond my control. Thus came an ability to write at that I didn't know I had and my first book "An Altered Dream" written at eighteen, but additional obstacles also beyond my control altered the dream of enjoying all of the fame that would have come with having it published thirty years ago, as well. Well, after all these years of writing, I'm trying at this late date to get my head in the literary door. I also hold an associate's degree in secretarial services--well, somebody had to do all this work! Three years ago, I rediscovered the music lost to me all those years ago, have presently written sixty six compositions in all genres and am in the process of recording a number of them to tape just for me for the sake of that dream long lost.
