About the Author

---

 Raised by her lawyer father and her vocally trained mother, Aileen found joy in using the English language with precision. Her career includes a sojourn as a statistical typist (where she found numbers not nearly as satisfactory as words), a legal  secretary (where misplacement of a comma could hang a man), and a word processing specialist who helped foreign-born doctoral candidates express their knowledge of scientific material...all while balancing the duties of wife and mother when most women were stay-at-home moms like her mother. 

Aileen currently lives in St. Augustine Florida, loves to write when the mood strikes her and appreciates a good cup of coffee.
