While a student at Wright State University she worked on the student body literary magazine, Nexus. In 1987 she graduated from WSU with honors and a BA in Communications. She worked as a reporter for The Daily Guardian, earned a Professional Writer's Certificate from the English Department, and was a member of the Spanish Club. 

In her lifetime she has been to France, India, and England, the latter when  she was a child. Her parents stayed in a flat during the summers and they would take her to Battersea Park, Piccadilly Circus, Brighton Beach, and the river Thames where she played with childhood friends. India was even more adventurous for her. After high school graduation she visited places such as Kashmir, Bombay, Goa, Udaipur, Jaipur, Kovalum Beach, New Delhi, and Calcutta. On her first trip she stayed for three months; on the second trip she lived there for about five. Although not an ounce of her is Indian, she often enjoys writing about India and its culture. People often ask her about the name Sinha though. It comes from her former husband. 

When did she get interested in literature? When she was in England and could read all the comic books for girls there. She devoured the cartoons inside Mandy, Bunty, Debby, Diana, Judy, The Beano, and Cor. The stories were fantasy, humor, mystery, horror, science fiction, and drama. There were often some truly strange stories like "The Voice In Her Tranny," "The Fish Twins," and "Kid Chameleon," which was an adventure fantasy about a boy who could change the color of his skin. 

As a child she also enjoyed reading The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis,  James Thurber, and all the scary stories she could find. Today she enjoys reading the work of Lewis Carroll, Emily Dickinson, May Sarton, Maya Angelou, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Sara Teasdale, Dorothy Parker, Edgar Allan Poe, and Margaret Atwood, among others. In her own words, "I write poetry to reach my inner child and in an effort to find happiness when the world collapses around me. My journey through life has been a perilous one. Deep down, I am constantly searching for a night rose in the darkness."
