I've worked in retail for over thirty years – Mostly in supervisory positions and I've worked with everything from tools to toys. I completed my AA in Social Science, my BA in Psychology, and I recently completed my MS in Psychology – as well as completing 47 units of a master’s program in criminal justice. My education was chosen more as a tool to make me a better writer than as a career choice. People interest me. I am currently working on a fiction novel and I am trying to find a Literary Agent. Writing a book has been a dream of mine for many years, getting it published would be icing on the cake. On a more personal note I have three children, four grandchildren, and a Pomeranian named mini. I am also a big fan of cooking shows and enjoy cooking.
