Over the years, I&#8217;ve investigated many unusual topics, and later became obsessed with astrology, learning from some of the best astrology teachers in the field.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a certified Hellenistic Astrologer, a FOCA (Foundations of Classical Astrology) course graduate from the Oraculos School of Astrology, and I\u2019ve been asked by Uptime, a micro-learning app, to write creative content on topics that include astrology, and fantasy fiction writing.<\/p>\n<p><i>Time Warped<\/i> was my first teen novel, published by Gypsy Shadow Publishing. It won P&amp;E&#8217;s award for best young adult novel and received glowing praise from Disney actress Danielle &#8220;Topanga&#8221; Fishel: &#8220;I could not put Time Warped down!&#8221; The screenplay, which I adapted from the novel, nabbed a semi-finalist spot in the Filmmaker&#8217;s Int\u2019l Screenplay Contest. It also received attention from Emmy Award nominee, producer, and fashion expert, Jess Zaino.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Ascender<\/strong> has a new publisher, Sovereign Publishing, where it\u2019s literally right at home\u2014cause it\u2019s my own new label! Book 1 is the first in <em>The Ascender Series<\/em> and will be re-branded and published with its right off the presses sequel, THE DESCENDER, later this year. The Ascender was awarded a finalist prize by the American Fiction Awards \u00a0contest, and earned glowing reviews from a librarian and a comic book icon.<\/p>\n<p>In the past, I&#8217;ve worked extensively in the entertainment industry: CBS, HBO, The Fifi Oscard Talent Agency, and New Line Cinema, in NY. Though I relocated to Asheville, NC, my daughter and I were whisked back to NY after we were chosen to star in a reality fashion Pilot for Back Roads Entertainment. Since that time, I&#8217;ve appeared as a guest on numerous talk radio programs, including: Time Tamer and Women&#8217;s View Radio. I am the mom of a NYC theater producer, writer and actress, and published novelist&#8230; not too proud a mama, am I? But I&#8217;m also proud wife of a tugboat sailor, and I&#8217;ve got a sweet King Charles Cavalier, Admiral Halsey at my side.<\/p>\n<p>Currently, I&#8217;m\u00a0 in sunny Florida. but who knows where that rabbit hole will lead me in the future.
