My Story
I'm a coffee lovin', word slinging, clean Historical Romance author whose super power is converting caffeine into novels. I love those odd tidbits of history that are stranger than fiction. That's what inspires me. Well, that and a good love story.
But of all the love stories I've read, mine is my favorite. I live happily with my own Prince Charming and our gaggle of minions. Three to be exact. They sure know how to distract a writer! But, alas, the stories must be written, even if it must happen in the wee hours of the morning.
I have authored some enticing historical fiction with meaningful romances, including: A Convenient Risk, The Lady Bornekova, The General's Wife, Hope in Cripple Creek, Off to War, and more!
