It was only recently I discovered my father was a famous singer in the 1950’s. His name was Jimmy Sacca. He died in 2015 so I never had the chance to know him. All the same I think you could say I am a chip off the old block as I have had a lifetime affinity for music. I play guitar and I have written a catalog of pretty amazing songs. In addition I am into music production and know my way around Cubase. I found him by happenstance with the help of a nationally know group of DNA sleuths who call themselves the DNAngels. So there’s that.

I was raised in an ultra-conservative household that didn’t believe in a higher education. We were encouraged do devote our lives to the church. Even so I managed to go to college where I took English Lit with an emphasis on creative writing. I just had to defy my parents and flee the church to do it.

I ended up an executive for a major furniture retailer in the state of Florida where I wrote copy and advertising campaigns and managed an endless roster of pending sales. Good money but not what I had envisioned for my future.

Then in 2013 I had a cardiac arrest. I died. It was a surreal experience, a glimpse of the hereafter. I came back, but I was forever changed. I have written a fascinating memoir about life, death and life after death. It has yet to be published.

The project I am currently focused on is The Widows of Sunrise Cove. I have just finished editing the first book in the trilogy about a small town in Northern California where children are begin-ning to vanish. It is my Practical Magic. What I love about this story are the diverse characters who are relateable and fascinating to follow as they come to grips with a sinister presence in their community. The protagonist is a seventeen year old girl named Rebecca Beesting. She has taken it upon herself to find the children and bring them home. But she can’t do it alone. She will need help from four eccentric women who call themselves the widows of Sunrise Cove.
