I grew up reading Olde England tales of romance devouring every page.  I couldn’t seem to get enough.  The gentlemen treating their ladies with care, billowing skirts, the romantic settings; all were intoxicating to me.  Since then, I have loved learning about the culture and country that so many of my own ancestors have come from.  I find it fascinating.  So here is my attempt at writing what I love to read. 

I began writing five years ago as I was healing from a bout with breast cancer; a year full of surgery, chemotherapy, hair loss, and radiation treatments.  Not much fun.  In my boredom from sitting around healing, even reading was becoming a burden.  Crazy thought.  I decided to try something new.  Writing.  And thus, my writing career was born.  I know a loving Father in heaven has helped me see my way to this exciting new part of me that I did not know existed.  I thank Him for this wonderful adventure.  

I've had a wonderful time creating loveable (and dislikable) characters and life-changing adventures for them.  Writing has become more enjoyable and rewarding than I ever imagined possible.  And now, I am finding more and more stories plying for my attention.  It’s very difficult to keep up!  But I'm having a marvelous time trying.
