I love movies and remember watching them and reading about them all my life. My mom, bless her heart passed at forty six when I was just seventeen. She instilled me the passion for movies and books as I have an extensive book and movie collection coupled by my music CDs.

Being the youngest of five children in conservative Southeast Missouri, I chose leaving in 1986 for Dallas, Texas. Our sharing the ups and downs made us stronger people. I didn’t care to hunt or fish like my siblings, choosing my love for books, movies and watching baseball.. especially my baseball St. Louis Cardinals and after retiring in March 2022 having devoted time traveling with my husband Gary LaPalombara and writing manuscripts having published two manuscripts, two pending and currently drafting a fifth manuscript.
