A former Californian, I have been living for the past five years in beautiful North Idaho with my husband and teenage son.  I love to – not necessarily in this order! -  write; kayak; walk my dog; cuddle with my cat; read voraciously; cook; eat; travel; talk with my wonderful son; spend time with my parents, my sister and her family;  watch movies; get together with my writing group; and go to B & B’s with my husband.  Since graduating from the University of California, Davis with a B.A. in History, I have worked as a secretary,  a magazine editor, a winery tour guide, an English as a Second Language instructor, and currently as an elementary school reading teacher and freelance writer.

My Christian historical romance, “The Silver and the Cross” (Comfort Publishing) is available on-line through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and Borders Books, and will be in bookstores on April 1, 2010.  My non-fiction articles have appeared in many magazines, including:  “Country Woman”, “Back Home”, “Northwest Travel”, “Northwest Woman”, “Backroads Motorcycling”, “Sandpoint Magazine”, “A Small Farmer’s Journal”, and others.

I have recently finished writing another historical Christian romance called “Violet’s Victory”.  Additionally, I’m writing a YA fantasy, an adult fantasy, and another historical romance.
