With her newly purchased hat, she leaves the store in the direction of her new life. One gust of wind grabs the hat carrying it down the street. When the hat finally comes to rest on the porch of a Victorian house, the For Sale sign on the window intrigues her to imagine the possibilities.

Author Biography

I grew up in the suburbs of San Francisco and have always called the Bay Area home. My husband and I have three adult children, so now I have time to lock myself away in a room and write.
I have penned several poems for children; they are available as a calendar. I also wrote my first book at the age of twelve during summer vacation. That one story began my love of writing. I still have the handwritten copy tucked away for safekeeping.
My stories tend to revolve around family. Of course, there is always romance, and maybe a mystery sprinkled in, but family is usually the central theme.
