By profession I am a Published Author, Photographer, Graphic Designer and Publisher. Though proficient in journalism, creative writing, editing, and jewelry design I chose to spend most of my time writing urban fiction. I claim to be a native Detroit-er. As a child I loved life passionately then oops death reared its vile head and stole my mother-complicating things. Alone desperate and naïve to the ways of the world I searched for love in all the wrong places and faces. Before long, I fell victim of a predator who stole her innocence. Humiliated by deceit I became a runner. I ran from reality, home, life, intimacy, and the fear of discovery. Living on the Streets of Detroit, I grew up to fast building a wall around my heart. I blocked any a blessing keeping everyone from penetrating my world. I was a loaner secretive of her past. After a ten-year Hiatus in search of piece my soul gave me a positive insight into life. The many locked doors and empty facades lead me down a path of destructive despair, but I persevered. At twenty-one, I returned home and to school studied creative writing, criminal justice corrections, journalism, and graphic artistry. Experience in conjunction with education afforded me the creativity with which launched my career in the publishing industry. Finding my nitch in creating urban fiction gave me the voice I so much needed. In the past few years I’ve published three novel "The New Don" life of a Gangsta Princess, a riveting yarn that flaunts the power of a woman. She acquired the money, lust, and passion of a young a woman's demand for recognition. My writing encompasses the best of both worlds the true grit of my God given talent and life experience. It is my sound belief that life is magnificent if lived to its fullest. Inspirations for writing career came from Donald Goines, Maya Angelou, Dr. Bernie Siegel, Walter Mosley, and Ellen Sussman, but all in all from the pain and hopelessness I suffered growing up I rise.
