Born in Pennsylvania, I now live in a century-old farmhouse
in a valley in the eastern part of the state. My husband and
I have a daughter, son-in-law and two grandchildren in
Philadelphia, a daughter, son-in-law and two granddaughters
in Charleston, South Carolina, and a son, daughter-in-law
and and two grandchildren in Tampa, Florida. We keep the
phone lines busy with our e-mails! Before I retired to write
full time, I was a church education director.
I knew I wanted to become a writer when I was eight years
old and picked up my first Nancy Drew mystery. "The Secret
in the Old Clock" — remember that one? Somehow that
dream was put on the back burner for a long time, but
eventually it re-surfaced. I've written everything from
educational materials to devotional articles to travel
pieces to children's fiction, but the books I'm writing for
Steeple Hill's Love Inspired line have to be the most
satisfying I've ever done. It's such a joy to tell a
romantic story that includes the spiritual lives of the
characters. I'm delighted that I'm also writing romantic
suspense novels for Love Inspired Suspense. And coming up
next year will be a series of three Steeple Hill single
titles about Amish characters.
When I'm not writing, you may find me visiting my
grandchildren, helping out at church, or enjoying an evening
out with my husband and friends. And several times a year
you can track me down on my favorite island beach. I'll be
the one in the deck chair with a new novel and a blissful
expression!
