About Me

I'm under construction. Again. Once upon a time I practiced law, then I discovered it was not my bliss. In fact, it was downright soul-crushing. So I left law to write a book. Then I wrote another book. I've now authored 3 books, edited more than 30 and coach aspiring authors. My most recent book is Write That Book!

My only offspring, who brings me more joy than I ever thought possible for a "child," is in her last year of college and then she's off to explore the world; first stop London, England. She tells me she's going to live in London, England for a bit.

Now, it's my turn.

I've been a few places, but not nearly enough. I desire to see much more of the planet.

As you can see, I'm still young. LOL I don't look, act, or feel the age the number claim I am. I'm silly, love good laugh, come alive when I travel, like meeting new people, but must get off to myself too.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am ready to see more of the world. Much more of it. I've been to Paris three and a half times, to South Africa two times, to Jamaica enough to consider myself "JaMerican." I see Italy, Amsterdam, and Bali in my future. I desire to experience new places not as a tourist but as a guest.

Interests

Traveling, which might be obvious. Fitness. Reading. Writing. Blogging. Meeting interesting people.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love Bob Marley, which is why I've been to Jamaica a sufficient number of times to call myself "JaMerican." I read way too many self-help and personal development books. I just can't help it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Let's see. I'd have to say one amazing thing that I've done was raise a daughter, who's loving, witty, bright, thoughtful, brave, level-headed, talented and easy to love.

And I skydived! It had been on my bucket list forever. Did it Oct. 2012.

Writing 3 books and editing more than 30 books feels amazing to me, considering I was trained as a lawyer.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a writer, an author, editor and a coach and consultant to people who desire to write a book.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I think everybody has at least one book in them. I've help many write their book. I can help you explore whether YOU have a book to write, and leave you a copy of my recent book, Write That Book!

I'm a great conversationalist who loves to laugh.

Countries I’ve Visited

Bahamas, Canada, England, France, Germany, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, South Africa, Virgin Islands, British, Virgin Islands, U.S.
