About Me


View my page on THE BLACK SEAL
I started writing when I was about 12 years old and have never stopped. I am the granddaughter of an award winning Ohio author and poet and already have several books published and screenplays awaiting production. I am also a veteran of the stage and was once asked to try out for the Metropolitan Opera.
I am the President of Kodron Productions, Inc. and the author and screenwriter of VORTEX OF REVELATION, a compelling novel/screenplay about the End of Days. As the ghosts of Civil War soldiers march through Gettysburg, gladiators do battle in the Coliseum in Rome and saints appear to the faithful, earthquakes rip the Earth apart while meteors streak across the solar system on a collision course with Earth. How can the human race survive the End of Days, what seems to be the end of time as we know it? Only funding stands in the way of our bringing this incredible picture to the silver screen. For now, you can purchase VORTEX OF REVELATION through Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble or Target.com. Ask for it at your favorite bookstore under A.B. Keller.
TREVOR'S LOVE, my second published novel, is a contemporary romance about the growing attraction between a handsome, but ruthless executive living in the fast lane and the temporary assistant who slowly but surely, finds a way into his heart. This story is set in Cleveland, Ohio and features many of the things I noticed in my long business career. The flashy, superficial lifestyle of the rich and famous often lacks depth and true meaning, the heart and sense of belonging to which all of us cling in those quiet moments when the tinsel-type friends depart and the only comfort we find is in the arms of those we love. You can find TREVOR'S LOVE through Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble and PublishAmerica.com. Request it by name at your local bookstore, too! You'll be glad you did.
NEW RELEASE!!! BRIGGEN, a science fiction/fantasy has just been published by TRIAD Publishing Group in April, 2008.

TANGLED MINDS - NEW SCREENPLAY! - Is there such a thing as a “bad seed”, an individual whose feet are placed upon a path of crime and evil almost from the beginning? Thwarted by her parents’ tough love, seventeen-year-old, single mother, Brianna, allows herself to be drawn into a new world glittering with easy money and false promises, accepting that proposition that no good girl ever should. With her young son, Josh, in tow, Brianna dazzles with new prosperity, fulfilling the fantasies of not only her glorified pimp, Ken Morgan, but those of a judge and a host of depraved, desperate men in his wake. The long arm of the law repeatedly tries to halt the ring of drugs and prostitution, reaching deeply into the remote mountains, where even murder seems somehow justified and transgressors frequently disappear, never to be seen or heard from again. Life is, indeed, full of choices and consequences. An individual may be able to run fast and far, but in the end, he cannot outrun the ultimate judge - himself. (Co-screenwriter, Yvonne Mason; based upon the novel, Tangled Minds)
THE DEVIL'S CRESCENT - Hardened bounty hunter Diego Montoya descends upon a small Texas village in the midst of a cloudburst and boldly plunges into the life of beautiful, small time cattle rancher, Maggie MacNaughton. Diego is a man haunted by a past filled with death and disappointment, a nobleman fleeing from the dictates of his demanding father and an arranged marriage. When a U.S. Marshall asks Diego to infiltrate a gun runner’s operation, Diego reluctantly agrees, shadowing the powerful land baron, Morgan Lansing. Morgan’s efforts play into the hands of a group of Mexican nationalists, who quickly claim the land vacated by the terrified settlers until only one parcel stands in the way of their march toward the border -- the one occupied by Maggie MacNaughton. Diego and Maggie match wits and wills as the danger mounts. When they are finally captured, it seems only their reliance upon each other might save them from a swift and certain death. Can a bounty hunter and a lovely cattle rancher stop a group of Mexican nationalists from retaking southern Texas? Find out in this action-packed western!
VORTEX OF REVELATION - Unavailable. Currently in Pre-Production with LITTLE BETH ENTERTAINMENT (http://www.littlebeth.com/) - 2009.
The world is so large and so many interesting people dwell upon it, each a small, unique part of the greater body of man. Our diversity makes us stronger; it should not be a point from which to begin a battle.
I pray that we will focus upon our value to each other as time moves relentlessly forward. Make a difference for your friend or neighbor, today not tomorrow. Only God knows the number of our days and there is great fulfillment in knowing that you have helped someone.
I welcome hearing from you and thank you for your visit!
