I was born in Erie, Pennsylvania. I am currently the Executive Administrative Assistant for the CEO of one of the largest locally owned Logistics, Trucking, and Warehousing Corporations, Lake Erie Logistics, LLC., in Erie.
I believe my love of writing stems back to the variety of music my parents exposed me to as a child. I have an appreciation of all genres from country and blue grass to classic rock and feel that the great songs of love in country music have helped me grow my own imagination when it comes to developing story plots.
I'm such a hopeless romantic, and I truly feel that writing gives me the opportunity to explore the psyches of people so I can discover what they find important in a relationship. Although this is my first venture into publishing, I'd like to pass on one piece of advice to fellow writers: keep a journal. I have gone through many volumes since my youth. Time and again, having those memories and experiences on hand at a later date has helped me in so many ways. If you haven't tried it, give it a shot. You will be able to see your own writing mature over the years.

Breakfast every morning with her best friend is the only way Eve can get herself through the day. The man who sits across from her and shares coffee and omelets is the only man she could ever think of spending her life with. He’s the man she’s been in love with since they were in school together. But at the same time, she’s not sure his feelings for her. It’s going to take a lot more than breakfast every day to help these two understand their lives and the way that they can grow together. It’s also going to take death, a manuscript, a bout of sickness and a woman named Kate to push them towards what they could have had all this time. The Early Bird Café by Carrie Aulenbacher is a story of love and discovery, and also a story of growth.
Eve and Jim are two characters you wouldn’t normally think of together. She’s straitlaced and dresses in business suits while he’s more laid back with tattoo, earrings and a bomber jacket. But they definitely seem to come alive throughout this story. You can’t help rooting for these characters as you find out more about their trials and problems all the way through. You’ll also find yourself entranced by the way they change throughout the story and what they’re able to accomplish together. I really enjoyed this story and I loved the many flaws that were presented for each of the characters. I felt more involved in The Early Bird Café by reading about these characters as real people.
