About Me


Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor - Image Hosting

Hello and welcome to my little corner of My Space. I write historical romances, the covers of which can be seen below. My first novel was published in 1984...China Rose....my last in 2005, My Forever Love. Since then I've been on a haitus of sorts, needing to take some time off, after 20 years of putting in 14 and 16 hr days in my little cubbyhole.
Hopefully I've not been completely forgotten, as the muse is starting to stir again and the fingers are beginning to itch over the computer keys *s*
I have enjoyed researching and writing about many varied time periods, including Medievals..the Black Wolf trilogy...Through A Dark Mist, In the Shadow of Midnight, and The Last Arrow) Scotland (The Pride of Lions, The Blood of Roses, Midnight Honor). I've had great fun writing about a dashing Highwayman in Pale Moon Rider, Western gunfights in Beneath A Desert Moon, and my favorite swashbuckling adventures...Across A Moonlit Sea, The Iron Rose, The Wind and the Sea...all with pirates, tall ships, and sea battles.
I'm sure I'll think of more to say later *grins* but that's a start.
