About
A former Californian, I have been living for the past five years in beautiful North Idaho with my husband and teenage son. I love to – not necessarily in this order! - write; kayak; walk my dog; cuddle with my cat; read voraciously; cook; eat; travel; talk with my wonderful son; spend time with my parents, my sister and her family; watch movies; get together with my writing group; and go to B & B’s with my husband. Since graduating from the University of California, Davis with a B.A. in History, I have worked as a secretary, a magazine editor, a winery tour guide, an English as a Second Language instructor, and currently as an elementary school reading teacher and freelance writer.
My Christian historical romance, “The Silver and the Cross” (Comfort Publishing) is available on-line through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Borders Books, and will be in bookstores on April 1, 2010. My non-fiction articles have appeared in many magazines, including: “Country Woman”, “Back Home”, “Northwest Travel”, “Northwest Woman”, “Backroads Motorcycling”, “Sandpoint Magazine”, “A Small Farmer’s Journal”, and others.
I have recently finished writing another historical Christian romance called “Violet’s Victory”. Additionally, I’m writing a YA fantasy, an adult fantasy, and another historical romance.

Story Behind The Book
I fell in love with the charming historical silver-mining town of Wallace, north Idaho, and knew I wanted to write a series of books set in Wallace, in different time periods. This was my first romance, published in April, 2010. "Violet's Victory", not yet published, is my second, and the third book, to be set in 1910, is a work in progress.
