Do you love complex couples in historical fiction? Individuals who are strong and independent on their own, but who are even better together in a loving relationship?
My favorites are Harriet Vane and Lord Peter Wimsey and Helena Justina and Marcus Didius Falco. Thanks to the inspiration of those incredible characters, I've done my best to create my own complex couples—American, Australian, and French—in times and settings that are challenging and fascinating.
I'm a former technical writer who writes about love, loss, secrets, and redemption during challenging historical times. I became enthralled by stories of Americans and Australians working and fighting together in WWI France and WWII Australia and have published two novels, Dare Not Tell and The Bravest Soldiers, which feature Sophie and Joe Parker as main characters. My short story “Ripples In a Pond” in Feisty Deeds: Historical Fictions of Daring Women, is a companion piece to my novels.
When I'm not writing Sophie and Joe’s next chapter or dreaming up travel plans for fun and research, I wrangle the rescue cocker spaniels that I and my husband have welcomed into our home and hearts.
In between writing, I format other authors' books for publication as well as my own books. I'd love to format your paperback and epub! Send me an email or message me on Instgram or Facebook.
I'm a member of the Historical Novel Society, the Women's Fiction Writers Association, and The Authors Guild.
P.S. I hope you love reading my books as much as I've loved writing them!
