I was born on the island of Kauai, in the Hawaiian Islands in 1949, the last born child in a Portuguese family of four children. In 1952 we moved to California to the town of San Leandro across the bay from San Francisco. A lot of people claim they were a sensitive child, but I grew up thinking that the world around me was not real, and I lived my life as if I were a stranger to it.
I dabbled with writing when I was young, but lacked the spark to think I might be able to do it reasonably well or that something might come of it. Life went on. I have spent that life selling cars for a living. I got married and raised two children. Then one day in the late 80's, almost out of nowhere, I began writing "A Matter of Time".
My goal in writing has always been to create a thing of beauty. Even though many of my stories are dark, I have attempted to infuse in them a sense of wonder in this mysterious world. And with the writing I was no longer a stranger to life. Through the power of words, I was alive at last.
It is my hope that you read and enjoy my writing. It is up to you to decide if it is worthy. All I can tell you is that my heart and soul are in it--for good or for bad.

I love romance. I love reading romance, living romance (who doesn't), but I especially love writing paranormal romance. There's no greater feeling than watching my characters come alive in each other's arms. Most of all, I love giving my characters the happily ever afters they deserve, with a few bumps and bruises along the way.
