The author was born in Aurora, Ill, where she did most of her schooling on the west side. Later, much later, she moved to a small town in N. Florida to soak up the sun and get away from the too cold winters. She has worked with the elderly for over twenty years and finds them to be a great inspiration in her life. She is the mother of five, including two sets of twins. Her dream is to continue writing and improving her skills as she does so.
