Born in an Army Medical Center, 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. Once I started reading my mother's Barbara Cartland romances I was hooked on historical romance.
Writing took a backseat to life for many years, 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.
As a diversion, earlier this year, I decided to write a story which had been bouncing around in my head. The result was my By Grace release, Adopting Alyssa. Inspirationals aren't my normal fare, but I've found I enjoy them.
Juggling church responsibilities, a full time job, tennis leagues, and my craft and sewing addictions doesn't leave much time for myself, but being busy is what keeps me going.
Visit my blog and leave me a note. I'm always willing to chat about history and writing. My favorite time periods are Regency, Victorian, and the span of the Holy Roman Empire in central Europe.
