About
Love to write, love to read, loving living at the beach in the Pacific Northwest and really love my Pomeranian dogs. Don't love housework, or yard work but somehow I manage to get both done .More or less. Author of Destinies, historical fiction ebook at Amazon, B&N etc. Not yet in print edition - but I expect an agent or publisher to find me any minute.
Story Behind The Book
Genealogy research led me to Russia, the Europeans who answered the invitation of the new empress of Russia, Catherine the Great, and to Catherine herself. Years of research re the German Rhinelanders and Catherine's life story including the coup which overthrew her mentally deficient husband. All of this culminated in the birth of Destinies, a novel - an historical blend of fact and fiction.

<h4>I could not put this book down </h4>
<p>Destinies has everything, a fascinating plot with absorbing adventures and romance, imagery that brings the story to life and interesting characters. I was up all night reading it. The story of Christian and the Rhinelander settlers is particularly well done. The fact that the story is based on historical events just makes it even more compelling. I look forward to much more from this author </p></div>
