Welcome!
Thank you for coming to check out my website. I hope that we can enjoy some wonderful historical adventures together!
​
My passion is to write lush stories that will transport you into a time long past. I hope you can curl up in an overstuffed armchair as these stories and characters come alive for you.
​
We've all built our lives in the footsteps of those who have gone before. That's why I love to explore history and the incredible strength of the human spirit, especially that of women whose stories have too often been forgotten.
​
Enjoy! (And please let me know if you did!)
