Brief Author Bio:

I’ve been writing ever since I was a little girl, unable to control the urge of stories that wanted to percolate through my fingers into the keyboard. Or back then, onto the old Royal typewriter. (Before the TRS-80 even! Wow!)

I have been a published writer for over 30 years, including seven years as a reporter and editor at the South Dade News Leader in Homestead, Florida. My list of publications includes fiction in Matriarch’s Way and Woman magazines, and romantic fiction in the Star.

My non-fiction book 101 Little Instructions for Surviving Your Divorce, was published by Impact Publishers in 1999. I regularly write technology articles and television reviews at Firefox News (www.firefox.org/news), and I blog on a variety of subjects, including autism, science fiction and life at http://awalkabout.wordpress.com . Two other books will feature my stories this year: A Cup of Comfort for Divorced Women, in December 2008, and A Cup of Comfort For Adoptive Parents, in June 2009. Other non-fiction was published in Boy’s Quest and Artefakt magazines, and I am a frequent articles contributor for local papers.

In the meantime, I’m keeping my day job as a family law attorney, my night job as parent to three children with special needs, and writing when I can.

Synopsis: Mindshade

Mindshade is a Star Trek: The Next Generation novel.

When the Enterprise-D answers a distress signal from the prison ship Odyssey, they find the Odyssey trapped in a power-draining field of solar flares. The prison ship's crew, responsible for the inmates held in suspended animation to keep them from using their dangerous mental and physical powers, warn Picard and his crew that the trouble is not that when the power fails, the prisoners will die--it's that they will escape.
