My Profile

I'm a multi-published, bestselling author of Inspirational historical fiction, romance, and drama. Every since I was knee high to a flea, I would dream up stories. I loved books and illustrations, and going to the library or climbing into a bookmobile to explore the books on the shelves, was a special treat.

Writing was within me. But it wasn't until a day in the early 90s at a family reunion that my cousin, a famous romance author, handed me a copy of one of her books that the spark was ignited and a fire built within me to write. I'll always be grateful she did that.

The goal of my writing is to give readers a respite from a stressful world. I took many paths to find my calling. In many of my stories, I write about the struggles endured by early colonists, with a sprinkling of both American and English settings. Currently I am writing a new historical series set in the Gilded Age.  

I live with my husband and two sons in a historical town nestled along the Catoctin Mountains, amid Civil War battlefields and Revolutionary War outposts in central Maryland.
