Hi, Welcome to my website.
I first attempted writing twenty years ago when I published a small article in an adoptive parent magazine. Then my super-mom gene took over and I enjoyed the events surrounding my daughters' lives: school, sports, music, dance and cheer.
When the oldest left for college in New Mexico, I began researching my family heritage. After several years of investigation, I entered a genealogy writing contest and won honorable mention. At that point, I felt the need to tell the story of my mother’s family. I began writing my self-published historical novel, Rachel.
In 2001 I joined a local critique group. I have published several fiction and nonfiction articles and won several contests. My second attempt at being a novelist began after I’d published Rachel. Again, digging into my family history, I penned a Christian Romance Adventure novel, Alvarado Gold that was released from The Wild Rose Press in November 2007. I am currently working on a sequel, Cairo, which further follows the adventures of Addie Brown when she and her husband travel to Egypt.
My second contract with The Wild Rose Press is for The Shadow of My Heart, an American Rose Historical. This is a short story which is available for download.
Other than writing, I enjoy reading, craft work and collectibles. I am also an exotic gemstone collector.
