About Me
I wear a lot of hats. I’m a mother, a military wife, a veteran (U.S.A.F. Security Forces), a freelance writer and novelist.
Some of my interests include terrorists and terrorism, the small arms trade, human trafficking and drug trafficking. All of these topics are represented in the Task Force 125 series which are stories of espionage and paramilitary operations centered around the character of Sarah Stevens who is recruited into the CIA’s Special Activities Division.
I write non-fiction articles on these topics and am an occasional guest on BBC radio because of it.
I also enjoy putting my business degree and interest in social media to use in writing articles on social media marketing for authors.
Previously, I was a military cop in the U.S. Air Force who spoke French, Russian and Spanish, traveled the world as a U.N. Peacekeeper, was trained as a Hostage Negotiator by the FBI and worked with MI-5 on personal security details.
Now I live in Denver and find my language skills only come to me at certain times: French when I want to swear, Russian when I drink vodka martinis and Spanish when I go to the farmer’s markets.
I am a member of International Thriller Writers, Romance Writers of America, Heart of Denver Romance Writers, ESPAN and RomVets.

Lisa Pietsch is one of my favorite authors. I admire her and love reading what she has coming next.

I was a dead-on shot with an M-60 and frighteningly accurate with the Mark-19 and M-203 grenade launchers. I was also handy as a Fire Team Leader and Security Controller. I worked every facet of nuclear security during my eight years in the U.S.A.F. [...]
