Biography
 
I fulfilled a lifelong dream of publishing my first book last year.  My novel, If These Walls Could Talk was  released through Publish America. I reside in Dublin Virginia, in the heart of the New River Valley, but was born and raised in Southampton County.  My enthusiasm for books began when as a young girl
 
I spent afternoon after afternoon reading at the local library. My love for the written word inspired years of writing short stories, but this was my first novel.  Some of the content in If These Walls Could Talk came from childhood memories of my beloved hometown, Franklin, and the lovely Victorian houses along its avenues. As a matter of fact several of the streets and homes came easily to mind as I was writing even though the book is based in St. Charles Missouri.
 
I believe in God first and have been truly blessed these past years as He has allowed me the time and the words to create on paper what I feel in my heart. I am excited to now announce the release of my second book, a children's story, Angels For All Times.  It is a work that I am pleased to say is a spirtually uplifting book for children as well as their parents.  You can go to my Portfolio page and read a chapter from it as well as my latest work, Aunt Cecil.
 
I am married to my soulmate, Al Diamond and have two great kids, Annie and Randy.  My grandson Zachary is an inspiration to our whole family and a delightful gift from the Lord!
