I'm working on my first novel in the genre of women's fiction. I'm interested in learning more about the publishing process and marketing. I live in the Finger Lakes region of Upstate New York and love being outdoors, especially hiking and boating. I have a son and daughter in college. I'm an RN currently transitioning into a new career as a legal nurse consultant.
