I grew up in Rome, New York, USA. I have been writing since I learned to write my name at the young age of 5 years old. I was born left handed and when I started school the policy at that time was everyone had to write with their Right Hand. I came home that day and started writing my name over and over again. I have keep Journals throughout  life about the good times and not so good times,  (13 Children siblings, not all living with me as I grew up was interesting  true life stories with lots of Brothers who has many talents but Music was a talent that was shared from our Dad ). My family The Premo's have many gifted Musicians in the family. I used my artistic ability to write  stories as a young child and use different forms of art plus I took Ballet & taught Ballet  in my teen along  with Tap dancing   &   threw a Baton as a child . In  college helped out teaching Ballet to 4 yr & 5yr  old  and  enjoyed teaching Ballet along with Teaching Pottery. Also Love Yoga great for the Body and Soul.

My husband Carl and I have  6 grown children and 9 grandchildren which I love so much and watching them all grow into great artist and wonderful loving caring people. 

I worked as an Optician/Manager along side my Husband Carl an Optometrist  for many years which I loved so much, and we met wonderful people which are now  life long friends. 

I love to write children books along with starting a new projects of writing Mysteries- WHO DONE ITS!  Throwing  pottery on electric wheel is another great passion of mine, along with working stained glass, and I also crochet and many of Crochet projects  which I share with one of sisters Paula Beckwith who is also a wonder Painter and Jewelry Maker along with Training dogs & Horses. , All of my crochet projects go to family, friends and  I give to Homeless Veterans to keep warm in the winter months and  Baby Hats and booties for New Mothers in Citrus County in Flordia.  
I enjoy being outside with my animals, I have 2 small dogs Zeus and Leo , (Bichpoo) and an kitten Sadie Kitty 
Also, Enjoy gardening, Kayaking, hiking, biking and camping.
