"My life can be described in one sentence: It didn't go as planned, and that's okay." ~ Zushka Biros
Who I Am
I was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut in 1965, and grew up in Bethel, Connecticut. The eldest of three children, I graduated from Bethel High School in 1983, and worked during my early adult life as a Paralegal for various law firms in Waterbury, Connecticut. I married my high school sweetheart in 1985 and we had two children, a daughter and a son. My life changed in 1989 when we decided to move to Arizona.
During our 16 years of marriage, I dealt with my husband’s alcoholism and drug-addiction, which resulted in a turbulent divorce in 2001 and his eventual suicide in 2009. An avid journal writer since the age of 7, I eventually began to write professionally, beginning with God Knocked Me Off My Bike, published in May of 2010. A second book, The Secret Butterfly Trail, was released in November of 2013, and forms the basis for a series of stories entitled An Ordinary Life, the succeeding books anticipated for release in late 2019.
Author of numerous blogs, essays and short stories, I'm a freelance writer, motivational speaker, art & music show promoter, model and photographer, and I enjoy a simple life of hiking, yoga and belly dancing. I live, and blog, in Jerome, Arizona.
