Welcome!

I've been a writer since the age of 12.  I read Rosalind Laker's The Smuggler's Bride one day and decided that I, too, should try to write a book. 

Since then, I've read a lot, written a lot, and lived a lot.

After living in Nebraska for nearly 50 years, I wanted to pursue my dream of settling in an area rich with the history that I love. Place means a great deal to me, and it often features in my work. So, in late 2024, I pulled up stakes and moved to Virginia with my daughter, our rambunctious lab/border collie mix appropriately named Blitz, and two kitties.

I write historical fiction and contemporary women's fiction. As an independent historian, I've written books about local and regional history. 

I hold a BA in history from Chadron State College and an MA in history from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln (UNL). 

Thanks for being here!
