About

I was born and raised in Tampa Florida. I have worked in nutrition and natural food marketing, as well as recipe development for Whole Foods and Health Valley Foods. In 1992 I got married. In 1995 I had a child and in 1999 I freaked out from earthquakes in California and moved back to Florida. I adore spending time with my family and riding horses. Dressage is my current mid-life passion. I have worked in the stock market as a financial advisor for 15 years and at the age of 49, I made the time to write my first book. My short story "Radiance" was published last winter in Literary Magic Magazine.

"Who Got Liz Gardner" is my first book and semi-autobiographical. It is published thru YWO and available at www.amazon.com as well as www.amazon.co.uk. If you find certain features and details unrealistic and hard to believe, those are probably true!
Please visit my blog at http://whogotlizg.wordpress.com/ but don't judge me too harshly.

Description

Richard II found himself under siege not once, but twice in his minority. Crowned king at age ten, he was only fourteen when the Peasants' Revolt terrorized London. But he proved himself every bit the Plantagenet successor, facing Wat Tyler and the rebels when all seemed lost. Alas, his triumph was short-lived, and for the next ten years he struggled to assert himself against his uncles and increasingly hostile nobles. Just like in the days of his great-grandfather Edward II, vengeful magnates strove to separate him from his friends and advisors, and even threatened to depose him if he refused to do their bidding. The Lords Appellant, as they came to be known, purged the royal household with the help of the Merciless Parliament. They murdered his closest allies, leaving the King alone and defenseless. He would never forget his humiliation at the hands of his subjects. Richard's inability to protect his adherents would haunt him for the rest of his life, and he vowed that next time, retribution would be his.

Reviews

“I was blown away with this piece of work. I'm not normally interested in this type of genre and usually shy away from anything remotely erotic but boy am I glad I read this one. You had me bouncing from sad to hysterical, especially when it came to the part where Liz loses her virginity. I will never be able to look at a jar of Hellman’s in the same way again! The pace was superb. You have a wit second to none. Would love to read more of your work.” Joanne in Canada “Pacy, well written and compulsive. I’m not a fan of chick lit, but this grabbed me. Eat your heart out Helen Fielding. The concept of the novel is convincing – the query on the internet leads in to this picaresque novel about a female’s lustful history. The characters are convincing even though they fly through her life. I like the cynicism and the self awareness. Well done.” Marilyn in the UK “Enthralled, entranced, excited! I couldn’t stop turning pages!” Rebecca in South Africa This book is sexy, thought provoking, intriguing and too hot to lay it aside and forget it. It grabbed me as have other well known authors such as Grisham and Wambaugh. Bravo for you. Bill in Indiana
