Recently completed my first draft of an historical fiction novel, though I suspect my children will be in college by the time it's fully edited. I have spent 16 years in advertising and public relations working for various agencies in Los Angeles, Washington D.C. and Seattle.
I adore English Literature, which was my major in college and it has really only been these last twenty years that I have widened my scope to include American authors like Faulkner, Twain, Fitzgerald, Steinbeck and Hemingway.
