Reading played an important role in my life from an early age. Much of my childhood was spent at the local library scouring the shelves for the next batch of 20 books to read and return in two weeks. Even today, I am rarely without a book. Many of my friends know me as the "book a day lady".

My love of reading naturally led to a need to tell my own stories. I began with poetry and short stories. Then after my daughter was born, I continued with bedtime stories which I made up as I went along. With my discovery of Regency romance novels in 1987, I found a genre which provided me with ideas for many possible stories and the tools to complete my first full-length novel.

My free time is spent making quilts by hand. I also travel frequently and visit my nineteen year old daughter, who is attending film school in Ventura, California, several times a year. My husband and I live in a suburb of San Diego, California.
