On September, 11th, 2001, I watched the second plane fly into the tower.

My first thought: “we are at war.” My second thought: “what am I doing with my life that matters?” That was the flame that ignited my passion for giving back, and hence the creation of LOLA & POOCH. My writing projects are deeply connected to my philanthropic causes.

THE BEAST, a paranormal thriller set in the aftermath of Katrina, inspired POSTSANTA.COM, which got 36 New Orleans families adopted for Christmas.

PROJECT SOLDIER STORIES began as I wrote SOLDIER GIRL.

DOGS 4 KINDNESS, inspired by all I learned and experienced about bullying while writing A HERO’S GUIDE TO MODERN HEROISM, is just beginning.

FASHION BITCHES is a dark comedy television series inspired by my experiences in the dog fashion world.

And Arnold, a high-functioning autistic in HAPPINESS embraces all of the love and fame that comes with a social media celeb dog.
