Born in Stockton, California in December of 1971 to a young couple, my mother 19 and my father 21. My father was drafted into the Army at 18 years during the ongoing Vietnam war, being a devout Seventh Day Adventist he refused to kill anyone, there fore becoming a Medic, but never gave up his dream to be a Minister of the Seventh Day Adventist church.

In January 1972, my father was released from the army with honors, his transfer papers on his Captain’s desk for Vietnam. My mother worked two jobs so my father could go to school eventually getting his Theology degree to become a minister of the Seventh Day Adventist church.

I have visited some of the most famous and the most beautiful sights across this beautiful country of ours and many, many others. But the most memorable place I have lived, was Elizabethtown, North Carolina, where one could see the Purple Mountain Majesty of the Rocky Mountains on the horizon.

This book is based in Fresno California against the devastating events of 9/11 and the War on Terrorism. Many places I wrote about I have visited or lived. The Big House for Bradford Estates is actually an extension of a smaller house, 6 bed, 4 bath, 3 car garage. The basement had been converted into a secondary living quarters, which became the Guest House where our hero resides. The original location was in Elizabethtown, North Carolina, I simply added more rooms, another level, and placed it in South East, Fresno where I lived with my folks from 1983 until 1991 when I moved out.

I still live in Fresno, California am married and have a teenage son. My husband and I both drive trucks. One dream I have always had was to own my own ranch. In 2005, I sat down and wrote this book based on this dream, calling it Bradford Estates. Figuring, I may never own my own ranch, but I can sure write about it.
