Tidbits of my life:
I grew up an only child in a suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Married to my college sweetheart, we have two amazing daughters and three precious grandchildren.  When I traveled to Scotland in 2014, I fell in love with the countryside and the history. That excursion and the stunning views of places such as Loch Garry (above) certainly enhanced my writing of The Lady's Desire. 

I am a librarian, a writer, a reader of books.  
Actually, I have an unhealthy obsession with books. When I start a good book I simply cannot put it down. The dust bunnies may be calling, but I manage to ignore them…  

​

My other secret passions are bacon, caffeine, chocolate, and strawberries! The four basic food groups! Did I mention Chocolate? Did you know that December 16th is National Chocolate Covered Anything Day? Now that is a holiday almost everyone can embrace and celebrate!!!

​

My favorite author:  Charles Dickens, of course!  Bytheby:  Dickens visited Pittsburgh in 1842!  Yes.  He was really here!!  Sadly, I only missed his arrival by 178 years!

​

What do I write?  I write adult historical suspense romance, YA historical fiction, and nonfiction. I am a member of Romance Writers of America, Three Rivers Romance Writers, the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, and Pennwriters. 

​

The original manuscript for The Lady's Desire was a Finalist in the NEORWA (Northeast Ohio Romance Writers of America) 2017 Contest!

I hope you enjoy the Abbey Mead series, beginning with The Lady's Desire.
