I was born and raised in the beautiful mountains of Colorado and have always felt a connection to this place. Growing up, I was blessed with an appreciation for nature and the outdoors that has only grown over time. I’m a wife, mother, and grandmother. I love to spend time with my family creating adventures and memories that will last a lifetime. Nothing can quite compare to the feeling of being surrounded by family and nature's beauty. From a young age I knew I wanted to be a writer. Looking back at all the experiences in my life including my time as a paralegal and later in corporate America, have made me who I am today. Now I'm excited to take on this new challenge as an author. My first book His Mosaic Masterpiece is available now! It tells my story of abuse and abandonment but also speaks to how faith and God's protection helped me move forward into healing. Through this story, I hope readers are inspired to find their strength within whatever situation they may face. I found courage through the hard times and came out as a stronger person. Even though life hasn't always been easy, without my family by my side I never could have written this book. Their care has been invaluable on this journey of healing.

Native Texan, Chris Chitsey, made a name for himself on the competitive, Texas honky-tonk circuit before graduating to success on a national level in the early 2000's. His smooth evocative voice and energetic stage presence quickly established Chris as one of the latest Texas exports to find national acclaim.  ​ Rooted in the smooth Texas country style, Chris began his music career, as a highschooler on the stage of his father’s Bar-B-Q restaurant and entertainment venue in the heart of Austin, TX. Raised on a steady diet of George Strait, Garth Brooks, Merle Haggard, Keith Whitley & Alan Jackson; Chris’ future had taken shape. ​ After becoming the main attraction in Central Texas throughout his college years, Chris inked his first record deal two years into his college career at Southwest Texas State University. His self-titled debut album had three songs hit the national charts, including "At A Time Like This," "John Wayne Rides Again" and "With A Body Like That," which held 18 weeks on the CMT and GAC Top 10 Countdowns. Chris completed his undergraduate degree and went on to earn a master's degree, all while maintaining his focus on his music career. ​ Chris’ journey in the country music business has been a true testament to his talent, persistence and dedication he brings to the table. His star power, world-class voice and imposing personality have brought him the national acclaim that country music fans knew was coming since the beginning. His skill as a commanding and confident entertainer is apparent every time he takes the stage, carrying fans on one of music's most enjoyable journeys. His versatility is evident in the wide range of singles he has released. ​ Chris is a dreamer and his highly touted success is more than he ever could have envisioned. After many years of working the road, Chris charted his first #1 single, “Lonely In Tucson,” in February of 2015 on the New Music Weekly Country America Chart. He followed that with two more #1’s, “Superstitious Heart” & “Just Don’t Know It Yet.” You will find all of Chris' singles wherever you stream/download your music.    ​ It’s hard to follow back-to-back-to-back #1 singles, but the talented Texan has teamed up again with acclaimed Nashville producer, D. Scott Miller, who has been producing Chris' music since 2004, to record a brand new project that promises to be his best work yet! Whether on stage or in the recording studio, Chris exudes his passion and dedication to the country music industry. It's that kind of dedicated work ethic, combined with God-given talent that has made him a timeless success. 

Author/screenwriter Michael Meloan, a confident of the late writer Bukowski, says this about the story that makes up his 136-page novella PINBALL WIZARD: “Young software engineer Ralph Hargraves is buffeted between a controlling father, international intrigue in the US defense industry, and an impactful friendship with the writer Charles Bukowski. A wild girlfriend also ratchets up the action. And a shamanic physicist introduces a new way of thinking. Is Ralph the Pinball Wizard or the pinball? In the end, he must decide. And he does.” The New Yorker magazine said this about the iconic LA author-poet, the late Charles Bukowski (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Bukowski): “He became wealthy and famous, a friend of celebrities like Sean Penn and Madonna, the subject of biographies and documentaries. In his late poems, his delight in driving a BMW and hobnobbing with Norman Mailer is so genuine that it becomes infectious.”

I’m in the UK in outer London and started songwriting in 2020.  Prior to this I worked as a professional photographer for over 10 years and gained awards from Kodak & The Master Photographers Association.  I’ve also been a keen amateur writer for many years, with mainly short stories & poems.In 2020 things changed for me as Covid reared its ugly head.  I lost my beautiful friend, Vivienne to COVID and my wonderful brother, Glen was in ICU for 6 weeks also with COVID.  I couldn’t visit him, no-one could and it was touch and go many times.  I wasn’t coping mentally and I was in a very dark place.  I couldn’t bear the thought of losing my brother.  One afternoon I sat & wrote a poem for him, a poem which enabled me to pour out all my feelings & emotions.  Not long after this I saw an ad by James Hawkins, music producer.  It read, ‘do you have a story to tell, would you like to unlock your song?’ This really intrigued me and yes, I did have a story and I also had my poem.  I signed up for this and wow, my poem became the song, Dancing & Free. I then decided to release the song as a charity single to raise funds for the hospital that saved my brother’s life.  I can’t tell you how amazing this has been and I feel I’m on a brand new path in life.  I’ve since released 8 more songs so you can see that the songwriting bug has really got me!I’ve also managed to combine my photography with my songwriting as I always use one of my images as a cover for each song.   I continue to work with James Hawkins and only just released a new single in August, ‘Reason’ with the talented vocalist Anna Sonido.
