Following an eclectic professional career from dental assisting to paralegal to owning her own wallpaper hanging business while raising a family before earning her degrees, Ramsey was publisher/writer/editor for a community newspaper, effectively honing her writing and editing skills which serves her well for independent publishing. Now retired from years as an administrator in the North Carolina Community College system, Ramsey is focused on dedicating more time to her writing.
Having grown up in rural North Carolina and now living on a barrier island, nature is an important element of Ramsey’s writing regardless of the main focus of the narrative. But most importantly, while she writes to entertain, she also writes to make a difference. Strong women are a focus of much of her writing.
In fiction and nonfiction, Ramsey writes about things that matter.
