I am a Northwest writer who has followed the path of social awareness through my writing. I have a published trilogy, Gentleman Companion One, Gentleman Companion Two and Gentleman Companion Three which follow the main character who is diagnosed with HIV in the first book and AIDS in the final book. The storyline is based on a cruise ship and ports of call where the Gentleman Companion, Lawrence, grants wishes of women who are struggling with their own life journeys. I am grateful for making this decision in my life to pursue a passion for writing that has been dormant through my life.
