I'm a mom, editor, blogger, and novelist. I fuse my bookworm nature and history passion by writing historical thrillers. My trilogy is set in the 16th century with a protagonist who's a half-English, half-Spanish novice in a Dominican order.  There are mysteries, and challenges, to her life.  And Sister Joanna Stafford is never afraid to take on the most formidable, and dangerous men in the kingdom.  The books in the trilogy are "The Crown," "The Chalice," and "The Tapestry." My next novel is a standalone, a spy story set in the 18th century art and porcelain world called "The Blue."
