Biography
I've been a misfit all my life. I have enough dyslexia that left and
right occasionally don't exist, and I have a long history with ADD,
bullying (receiving end), and social anxiety. I grew up in Pennsylvania
and now reside outside Boston, Massachusetts. After attending six
different colleges and studying many subjects (English composition, art,
electronics, computer science, psychology), I earned a B.S. in
Psychology from Framingham State University and, later in life, an M.A.
in Human Relations, Specializing in Holistic Counseling Psychology from
Lesley University (psychology is one of my passions). I don't write for
any specific age, but I'm young at heart, so my books are pure escapism
wrapped up in lots of bantering and humor. I'm delighted that my readers
range from 4th graders to mature adults. There are several reasons for
this. First of all, I write meaningful books with a clear message and
theme. Secondly, my love of psychology results in my books often dealing
with deeper concepts and presenting sophisticated views of the internal
worlds of humans. At the same time, my love of exciting, unique, and
atmospheric stories keeps them fun and engaging. So, there is a lot in
there for readers young and old.
