A wife, mother, grandmother, and avid reader, I began writing fiction in 1998. With a background in technical writing, fiction released the creative side of my nature. I enjoy placing my characters in difficult situations and allowing them to find love and adventure as they work through them. I was most inspired to write romantic suspense by my favorite authors Kay Hooper, Iris Johansen, and and Sandra Brown. But the cherished memories of books from long ago by Phyllis Whitney, Barbara Cartland, and Grace Livingston Hill encouraged me to venture into other sub-genres of the field of romance. I enjoy interacting with my readers and supporters on my blog and through social media.
