“Sammi” begins to experience troubling physical symptoms and turns to alternative medicine in her quest for answers. In her late thirties, single, and caught up in the hustle of everyday life, she is disenchanted with her predictable lifestyle as a psychotherapist on the west coast of Florida.
I am now in the process of writing another novel in what I consider a unique collection of adventure stories, the third in the Samantha Clark Mystery Series.Samantha Clark is fast approaching a crossroads in her life, she just doesn’t know it yet. Once bitten by the writing bug, I could not help but pen my second work of fiction, The Fear of Things to Come. I also decided to move back to friends and family in Florida and worked again at the local Hospice, then more recently in community mental health. It was during this time that I became a clinical hypnotherapist and a nationally certified counselor, as well as starting a private practice as a psychotherapist. I had a strong desire to experience a higher level of creativity, to literally produce something out of nothing- a fascinating and challenging endeavor I could not ignore. I had a yearning to shape a tale based around individuals in my life that I believed would make engaging characters. The resultant book, The Resurrection of Hannah, had been born out of a series of powerful dreams, along with compelling and coexisting experiences that inspired me to create a story that would capture the strength of my emotions. Several years ago, due to a deep longing to express my feelings in an alternative manner, I literally sat down one day and began writing my first novel. Over the next twenty years I concentrated further on my work in counseling and social services and became a licensed practitioner. Wanting to further my learning, I attended Suffolk University in Beacon Hill in Boston, and graduated two years later, obtaining a Masters degree in Counseling and Human Relations. After graduating from high school at the age of seventeen, I moved with my father to Massachusetts.Thrilled to begin college in New England, I jumped in with both feet and managed to excel in biological and psychological studies upon which I secured my very first “real” job as a Senior Psychiatric Counselor at a group home for adults with mental illness.
My father was a reverend with a flourishing career, moving the family to various parishes as his calling dictated, which I view in a positive light as I was exposed to different communities and lifestyles. I was raised in the northeastern United States, in the heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country, and resided in a half-dozen homes or towns throughout my growing up years.
