Why I Dumped my Big Fat Career

If hindsight is 20/20, don't you wish foresight was at least 40/20 or even 60/20?  How about anything but blind?  

After my mother's death, (because this isn't a sad, soppy blog, and I try to steer clear of tears when I'm not torturing a character, I'll be brief), I was  shattered.

I'm not trying to brag but after twenty years as a radio "personality," "disc jockey," "blabbermouth," in San Francisco, I'm generally okay with stress.

I usually handle anxiety well, but my mother's terminal diagnosis and everything that went with losing her blew me out of the water. Leveled Me.

When I was finally able to breathe again, almost two years had passed, and I had no desire to be alone in a soundproof booth anymore. The radio industry had also changed.


The few jobs that once were available had vanished. Radio stations in major markets were simulcasting other signals or importing radio shows from different markets.

Luckily, savings and my employed hubby could
support another venture, but what? 

Three years later...(and probably several weeks worth of blog content I'll post later), I found my voice again and fell in love with writing.

So far, I've written a contemporary romance called Just a Kiss and I have two additional stories in the works. Obviously, I still have a lot to say. Now, I just say it on paper instead of through a microphone on the radio.

I'm so excited to launch a new career as an author. Just a Kiss hasn't been released yet because it's part of an even bigger plan. I'll keep you posted.
