I found a great passion for story telling when I started a cookie company years ago by creating a imaginary world called, "Cookie Island", to help market those cookies. This passion led to me developing children's books and screenplays. Being dyslexic the reading and writing posed an emotional and practical challenge, but my love for visual and creative development balanced a working relationship. Currently, I have created nine books, have won numerous awards and reviews for our efforts. I feel extremely lucky to have found a great passion for storytelling. A lot of my creations come from walking and paddling at sea, in the small coastal town where I live, Sag Harbor NY.
