I’m an author and avid fan of historical western romance. Growing up, television choices were limited. My father loved watching TV westerns and I grew up watching all the old favorites. That time period has always represented hard work, strong morals, tough characters, a protection of others and a devotion to God. Honor. Respect. Commitment. Strength. Kindness. Faith. These were the values of my childhood and the characteristics I strive to follow, both in life and in my writing. As a young girl, I loved books. What other girls might spend on hair, makeup, fashion – I spent on books and reading. I couldn’t, and still can’t, get enough of the stories that make up our world. Books created exciting places that could take me beyond the Upper Peninsula of Michigan – to a world filled with romance, mystery and intrigue. After what feels like a lifetime of doubt, and hundreds of poems and stories written and discarded, I decided to try my hand at writing a historical western romance. Through the encouragement of a close author friend, and the loss of another, I wanted to discover once and for all if I had that passion inside of me. I sincerely hope my readers enjoy the stories and characters created from the inside of my demented mind. It’s a unique place, filled with the voices of characters longing to be set free onto the printed page. May you enjoy the stories they bring to life through my writing. I welcome you to join me on my author journey as each story is a romance to remember. And, do you see that + FOLLOW button below my head up above? Click it! I love being followed.
