Writing has always been therapeutic for me; becoming a favorite outlet to come to whenever I was faced with difficult life issues.
And although my life in the work force began as a hairstylist, I always knew that it was merely a stepping stone for something else that was waiting for me.
 After discovering my love for writing, I went on to write and publish 4 children's books.


 I started writing books for children because I figured I would start out small and work my way to more difficult projects as time went on.
I currently have several children themed projects still in the works!
As time pressed on, I realized that I needed more stimulation, with more adult dialogue. I then began testing the waters by writing articles and ongoing columns for Cleveland University and a small woman's magazine based out of Southern California.  
~ I received much praise for this work, along with several newspaper write-ups, personal interviews and more assignment requests, including a book review and interview with controversial writer, Dr. Joseph Suglia, whose work is currently in production by indie director, Steve Balderson.

As my new found love with this type of writing flourished, I began getting ideas for novels and have since begun 3, with more ideas waiting in their respective places in line.
~ Thus far, these books are playing out like movies in my head; with story lines and characters that are fleshing themselves out. Each of these books are complete with individual casts and soundtracks...
 I will be writing screenplays for each of these novels upon their completion.
I've also recently opened a publishing house named after my two daughters, called The Sydneykate Press - a new take from Sindicate Press, which was already spoken for.

My publishing house has two imprints:Black cat (for children) and Mystic River; (for adult swim).
Initially, my publishing house was created to just house my published work, but I then decided to encorporate all of my artistic abilities to provide services for others while in between books, with services that go on to include; company banners, logos, illustration and editing. As it turns out, I've never been happier, or busier - which is perfect for a mind that cannot rest!
