Writers are keen observers of human nature. They have to be to create characters that resonate with readers! But sometimes that ingenuity spills over into their personal lives and authors can't resist tinkering with their own storyline.
I am constantly reinventing myself. I've been a wife, mother, electric meter installer, lay nurse, and a widow. Yet, through it all, one role has remained constant--that of writer.
Goethe once said: "In every man's writings, the character of the writer must lie recorded." I hope that's true of my books. I strive to pen stories through which my love of history and the written word can shine. And because the journey through life is a bumpy one, I write romance.

BLIND FORTUNE
by Joanna Waugh
They say love is blind, but Lady Fortuna Morley doesn’t believe it. Sightless since birth, she can think of only one reason a gentleman would wed her—for the dowry and three thousand a year her father will provide. She’s in London the spring of 1814 to help launch her younger cousin into society, but prefers living quietly in country with her music. The last thing Fortuna wishes is to cross swords with the arrogant Marquess of Granville.
Charles Lowden, Lord Granville, has decided to take a wife. The bride he’s chosen is thirteen years his junior, but meets all criteria. What he won’t abide is interference from the girl’s impertinent cousin, the outspoken and opinionated Lady Fortuna Morley. The woman is determined to thwart the match. Charles is just as determined to charm Fortuna out of her disdain for him.
What neither expects in the ensuing battle of wills is to fall in love.
