As a native of upstate New York with a lifelong passion for horses and the great outdoors, I often weave my beautiful city, known for "Health, History & Horses" into my writing. Having a very diverse background, with successful careers in professional sports, insurance and Wall Street finance, I now tap that knowledge as I write full time. I enjoy hiking in the Adirondacks and the Green Mtns of Vermont, gardening, spending time at our family lake house, riding my horse and I am an avid reader. Of all the interests I have, cooking is NOT one of them and I am very fortunate to have a boyfriend who doesn't really mind too much.
