About the Author
Although published in various genres of romance, both in print and electronic
format, my first novel was historical, released by Warner Books (before the big
merger with Time) in 1989. Faith and Honor has since been reprinted and the
second in the trilogy released. Most recently I am enjoying an association with
New Concepts Publishing and had a brief but satisfying association with Inara
Press. I also have an illustrated children's e-book published and hope to publish
more children's books in the near future.
The rural village in Pennsylvania where I reside with my husband and our
multiple pets has provided much of my recent inspiration. The fact that my three
sons are all grown has allowed me more time to pursue writing. As one might
expect, my feelings regarding that circumstance are mixed. However, they do
not live very far away and I see them often.
My interest in writing began at an early age when I wrote my first book in the
second grade. Titled Windy Day, the book was thirty pages of unpracticed prose
about a girl and her horse (what else?), complete with illustrations. From that
point, I read the first time through a book for pleasure and subsequent readings
were spent dissecting what had caught and kept my interest, the style in which
the book was written, the flow or phrasing and the particulars of description.
Enamored of the lyrical quality of the written word, I was hooked. My love of
history, research, the intricacies of detail and stretching my imagination have
aided me immensely through the ever-expanding process of learning my craft.
I hope to continue writing for a long time to come, sharing my work with
wonderful readers. To you, my thanks!
