I am a retired English and Drama teacher who loves reading the classics and books on theology.  I began writing Regencies while I was teaching because romances were what most of the girls read on their own, and too many of them do not promote family values.  Traditional Regencies were clean, sweet ,and funny when I began writing. Unfortunately,  it seems many of them are now published which stray from the originals. So many of the classical writers addressed the universal questions of faith and values and inspired so many.  I wanted to continue in that vein, making my work appeal to people of all ages and beliefs.  Faith can sustain one through all sorts of problems while bringing true joy and peace in this life; it is a subject which should not be allowed to die out.  Gentle Journey is my first Novel. I am presently working on selling a second novel and completeing two more while also fleshing out a screen play.
