I started writing my debut novel, JUNIPER FALLS, in 2015 while winding down a 25-year career in Marketing. Unexpectedly laid off in 2016, I put the manuscript in the drawer for 6 years, switched careers to Real Estate, and took a detour into music, which resulted in releasing 3 albums of original tunes. In 2023, I plucked my manuscript from the drawer, ran it through several more drafts, hired a professional editor based in Glasgow, UK, and serialized it on an online literary platform for a group of Beta readers. Now, after 10 years and 9 drafts, JUNIPER FALLS is finally available on Amazon worldwide.
