I was born in Indianapolis.  Since I was in high school, I can't remember a time when I wasn't writing or creating stories.  I have enjoyed many avenues of study, most particularly U.S. Civil War History which is evident in my second novel, HALLOWED GROUND. I am happily married with two grown daughters.  I have had many inflluences in my life, my husband being the firstmost.  Secondly, I had a wonderful mentor for my studies of the history of the American Civil War.  He was my guide and my teacher.  To him, I will be forever grateful. My interest in the paranormal has been with me for as long as I can remember.  Celtic spirituality and magik is the cornerstone of my belief system.  i'm a bit of a dichotomy. I write fiction, but rarely read it, prefering nonfiction expecially the subjects of ancient British, Irish, and Celtic history, natural magic, and philosophy.
