About me...
I grew up in a average-size city in upstate New York. All through school I enjoyed writing as long as I could choose the topic. I even tried to write a novel length story while in middle school. The plot centered around two friends, but since I was young, I didn't stick with it all that long.

I met my husband in the latter part of 12th grade and married him two years later. He had already enlisted in the Air Force and I enjoyed accompanying him on his twenty years of service. By marrying young and entering the work force full-time, the writing bug didn't bite again until the early 90's when I read Judith McNaught's contemporary romance, Double Standards. I was already hooked on the romance genre and the little critter of a muse dug his teeth in deep, having gained a wealth of inspiration from Ms. McNaught's heart-warming story.
 

Someone once told to write what I like or what I know. Since I've always had a fondness and respect for horses and life in the 1800's, and a bit of knowledge for both, I've combined the two and have settled into a career writing western historical romance. Sprawling ranches, planked boardwalks, sawdust on a saloon floor, my stories will take you inside the hearts of temperamental cowboys and the code of honor they live by, hardened outlaws with their own code of justice and the women who helped them settle the west. So saddle up and ride along the trail where men were men, women were women and love conquered all.
