I have an official bio posted below, but the unofficial version of me is that I'm an avid reader--so avid the only time I got in trouble in school was for unauthorized reading behind my text books. I used to could walk and read, hated to waste time that could be spend reading. As I browse this site and others reading lists, I'm remembering old favorites and it is way fun. You browse my shelf, you'll find I'm a fan of Georgette Heyer, Elizabeth Cadell, Mary Stewart, Jane Aiken Hodge, Alastair Mclean, Helen McInnes and Elizabeth Peters. It was because of these wonderful authors, that I started writing myself.

WEBSITE GIVEAWAY!!! If you visit my website contest page, I have some really cool keepsake bookmarks I'm giving away for the book launch of my latest novel, THE KEY!
