An Anglo/American who has lived in France for more than 40 years, she began writing as soon as she retired. A Regency 'penny-dreadful' paperback had her thinking she could do better. She has been trying ever since... Before retiring, she worked at a variety of jobs. Some of the more interesting have been: Art & Crafts teacher, Bartender, Marketing Assistant for N° 1 World Yacht Charterers (Moorings), Beaux Arts Model, and Secretary to the French Haflinger Association... With her daughters, she is a vegetarian and a supporter of animal rights! She is also an admirer of William Wilberforce. (If you should read her book 'The Viscount's Midsummer Mistress' you will see that she has devoted some paragraphs to the subject in Regency times.)
