I'm occasionally drawn from my fantasy world when my husband calls for the "Caulk Master," "Tile Master," "Paint Master," or any other master of a task he doesn't want to do in our home reno-vations.

But I suppose it's only fair since I turned to him when I started writing my first book, Sixpence Bride. He gave me a male perspective, which was quite an eye-opening experience!  With my second book, Spenceworth Bride, he simply asked questions that made me think in a difference direction.  And then he came up with the idea for A Blast to The Past.  So, I guess we're even and I'll remain the "Master of Renovations" and he'll be the first reader of my stories, (even though he doesn't read romance!).

My passion for writing has led me to another passion . . . period gowns.  When writing my very first book, I couldn't find any information on what the clothing of the time felt like.  And since it was a time travel, I decided the only way to find out what it was like to wear gowns of another century was to make one.  Well, one led to another, and then another, and then another.  I'm working on a sideless gown, circa the fourteenth century.  Look for a picture in the near future.

As passionate as I am about writing, I also enjoy reading and talking about romance.  So, don't be shy, drop me a line and tell me what you're reading.
