I was born in Queens, New York and moved to North Bellmore when I was eight. I am married to Joseph Morris. I have worked for a large company for thirty-four years as Assistant Vice President. In 2009 I had a stroke. I couldn’t speak for four months. It affected my speech. A very special thank you to Dr. Carol Letzter and Roseanne Spatz for their help patience and understanding.

I would also like to thank Dave Thompson for the illustrations in this book.
