| Born in an Army Medical Center that no longer exists, I have lived my entire life around the military. First an Army brat, then an Army officer, then married to a (now retired) Army officer, I have traveled extensively in the United States and Europe. With eleven schools under my belt before receiving a degree in European History with dual minors in English and German, I finally settled on school number twelve and emerged with a law degree in. . .you don’t need to know how long ago. Suffice it to say that, had I remained in the Army, I would be retired by now.
Living in Europe with a vivid imagination was all it took for me to start writing. In Junior High and High School, my best friend read everything I wrote and asked for more. Once I started reading my mother’s Barbara Cartland romances I was hooked on historical romance.
Writing took a backseat to life while I married and had a couple of kids, but I never stopped reading and enjoying romances – especially historicals. My aunt and I used to joke about writing our own someday, but when she died in 2002, I realized that we’d waited too long and if I ever wanted to write, now was the time to do something about it. As a form of therapy, I began writing again and when the smoke cleared in 2004, I had written four complete novels.
Juggling church, a full time job, tennis leagues, and my craft and sewing addictions doesn’t leave much time for myself and writing, but being busy is what keeps me going.
