My background is that of an actress with an M.A. in Theater from Illinois State University. My passion is writing and I've written and performed several plays on social justice issues throughout California and in Washington D.C.
My acting past includes a Drama-Logue Award for the feisty Angela in "Bedtime Story" and I've had recurring roles and guest appearances on television shows and T.V. Movies of the Week.
"The Cage" a thriller about human trafficking is my second novel.
Published this May 2023 "Without Consent," is a sequel to "The Cage," and features Suzanne DeMarco back home in Paisley Falls unable to adjust to life after her traumatic past. In her struggle to save her younger sister from a similar fate she uncovers an underage modeling agency being set up on a Caribbean Island by the same man who turned The Cotton Mill into a brothel in her home town. She and Sgt. Dormer set out for the island to try and save the girls and her sister. But her former partner Lulu throws a wrench into Suzanne's plans.
This is a dark, disturbing thriller and a realistic commentary about the effect of social media on young teens.
