| A Little Bit About Me |
I grew up on a farm in the Midwest and soon learned to escape the never-ending chores by storytelling. I'd slip off to the barn or the fields and settle into a book that would take me away. Before long, I started creating my own stories to keep myself entertained. Eventually, adult responsibilities took over and I put away my storytelling, but never my love for reading.
One year, after a fabulous trip to England and an exceptionally long Wisconsin winter, my fascination with historical romance blossomed from reading them to needing to write them. I just couldn't get the dream out of my head. I had to write. I began the arduous task of learning all I could about writing a story. Those lessons continue every day.
I believe there are wonderful courageous characters waiting for someone to tell their story. When I write, my goal is to capture a moment in time, where the threads of history, adventure, hope, passion and love, sweep the reader away.
I've completed three 15th century historical romances involving a secret brotherhood of knights and the women who capture their hearts, even while fighting against deceit, treason and death. My first novel, Knight Dreams, is available as an e-book October 6, 2009 and in print August 2010. I'm presently working on my fourth historical romance novel. Each time I begin a new novel I'm excited to discover their tale.
I now reside in California where my dreams are supported by my very own hunky Knight in Shining Armor, our two children and four, yes four, dogs. This journey would be so much harder and lonelier without their love.
Welcome to my dreams!
