Early and Personal Life

Moving to America to pursue a career in screen-writing in Los Angeles, she spent some time there getting acquainted with the movie sets before moving onto Portland, Oregon.

This has all managed to resonate well with her readers, who have come in large numbers looking for the sense of realism, warmth and character that she provides.

Meeting with the likes of Steven Spielberg during her time working in Los Angeles, getting an in-depth look at the Indiana Jones sets, she managed to set her sights on writing. This all helped along with reading a number of scripts, as she managed to get a clear understanding of what worked in regards to narrative. Taking what she had learned there, she then went onto create her own career and produce her own books.

All this added up towards her becoming a more fully rounded writer, as she moved onto Portland in Oregon with her husband where still currently writes to this very day. Settling down she has managed to achieve her lifelong dream and write for a living, creating work that has a strong legacy behind it. This is something that she will continue on into the foreseeable future as she carries on writing with more to follow.
