Welcome to my historical world of Romance. Thus far my stories are located in Texas, Central Texas where I was born. The theme running through my books is a belief that Indians were as family oriented and as loving as any race on the planet. We've depicted Indians as nothing but savages for too long.

I want to believe that half-breeds were not always born as the result of raids, rape, bloodshed and capture. I want to believe that many children taken by Indians were adopted and grew up perfectly satisfied with their lives. If you haven't read my work, take a look at my excerpts page.

Okay, I can hear the skeptics saying, "That's a Pollyanna attitude!" Well, hey, I do write fiction. My worlds and people spill from my gray matter. Remember this phrase: My world, my rules.

Presently, I'm trying my hand at writing a time-travel. Yeah, I do take my heroine back to the mid 1860s in Central Texas. What can I say? I love the era. I'm told by many that my voice lends itself to historical. So, my biggest challenge in writing a time travel is to always have my heroine's dialogue sound 21st Century.

My pleasure reading is eclectic. I love Medieval, Urban Fantasy, Suspense, Comedy that's done well, other Western writers: name it, I read it. About the only thing I refuse to read is horror. I find I can't suspend my disbelief that far.

Pull up a chair and stay awhile in my world. Travel to other worlds drawn by some excellent writers I know. Go to my Links page and click their names to take you to their home pages. Y'all come back to see me, ya hear? One never knows what I'll be up to...
