Born in an Army Medical Center that no longer exists, I have
lived my entire life around the military. First an Army
brat, then an Army officer, then married to a (now retired)
Army officer, I have traveled extensively in the United
States and Europe. With eleven schools under my belt before
receiving a degree in European History with dual minors in
English and German, I finally settled on school number
twelve and emerged with a law degree in. . .you don't need
to know how long ago. Suffice it to say that, had I remained
in the Army, I would be retired by now.
Living in Europe with a vivid imagination was all it took
for me to start writing. In Junior High and High School, my
best friend read everything I wrote and asked for more. Once
I started reading my mother's Barbara Cartland romances I
was hooked on historical romance.
Writing took a backseat to life while I married and had a
couple of kids, but I never stopped reading and enjoying
romances — especially historicals. My aunt and I used
to joke about writing our own someday, but when she died in
2002, I realized that we'd waited too long and if I ever
wanted to write, now was the time to do something about it.
As a form of therapy, I began writing again and when the
smoke cleared in 2004, I had written four complete novels.
Juggling church, a full time job, tennis leagues, and my
craft and sewing addictions doesn't leave much time for
myself and writing, but being busy is what keeps me going.
Visit my blog at and leave me a note. I
love to chat about history and writing. My favorite time
periods are Regency, Victorian, and the span of the Holy
Roman Empire in central Europe.
