Mom Entrepreneur Extraordinaire 

My Story

   My husband, John, and I launched JS Products in 1990, an original equipment manufacturing company. Since then, I’ve built and operated four businesses—ranging from brick-and-mortar retail to consulting and startup ventures—giving me hands-on experience across many facets of entrepreneurship. My path took an exciting turn when I was invited to co-author my first two books, Incredible Business and Mom Entrepreneur Extraordinaire. That opportunity lit a spark in me and led to what has now become a passion—bringing words and books to life. When it came time to publish 45 Years of True Railroad StoriesTM, I found myself at a crossroads. Traditional publishing meant a long, uncertain wait for an agent and publisher—potentially up to four years. On the other hand, the $10,000 quote from a self-publishing company was out of reach. So, I took matters into my own hands. I independently published John's 283-page memoir, complete with photographs and cover design. Not only did this save us thousands of dollars, but it also gave me full creative control and ownership of my work. That experience empowered me to continue independent publishing—not just for myself, but also to help others bring their own stories to life. 

My Published Works Include:

  • 45 Years of True Railroad StoriesTM – A heartfelt memoir chronicling a life on the rails.

  • Adventures of a Railroad EngineerTM – A charming children’s book inspired by true stories.

  • FOLLOW: Samuel. Francine. Matt. GeorgieTM – A gripping thriller written in honor of my mother’s love of suspense. Readers have compared its style to Dean Koontz and its dark, psychological twists to Criminal Minds.

   Today, I continue to help aspiring authors navigate the publishing process and turn their ideas into finished books. It’s an incredibly fulfilling way to blend my entrepreneurial roots with a lifelong love of creating.

I look forward to hearing from you!

Confidentiality,  Discretion, Confidence, Creativity, and Achievable goals is what I bring to the projects that you entrust me with.

My philosophies on life: God first. Love. Family. Friends. Never give up. Never stop learning. Never stop loving.
