I was born in Paterson, New Jersey, but grew up in the West Park area of Cleveland, Ohio. I now live with her husband, Kevin Wohl, in a small town northwest of Chattanooga, Tennessee. I have two sons, two daughters-in-law, two granddaughters, two step-sons, two step-grandchildren, and two brothers. I have enjoyed writing since my teenage years. Besides writing in my diary, I wrote long, eventful, and funny letters to my brothers while they served in the Air Force. Letters to family and friends in other states were more like short stories than quick letters. To this day, I come up with details for the stories that I’ve written before drifting to sleep at night. So I guess I’m working on my writings even while I sleep.
