Hello and thank you for visiting my site.  My first novel The Rose in the Wheel, a mystery set in Regency England, was published by Poisoned Pen Press in 2002; the sequel Blood for Blood is a May 2003 release.

    My love affair with nineteenth century
England began as a child when I first read Jane Eyre.  I later gobbled up all the Austen, Trollope, Dickens, and Georgette Heyer I could find.  In college I majored in English with no clue as to how I meant to support myself, eventually earning an M.A.   Nowadays, I live in Southern California with my husband Michael and our daughter Miranda.  In addition to teaching high school British literature, I enjoy historical research and travel to England whenever possible.  I have also been planning a cottage garden for our small suburban yard--quite a challenge for someone with no green thumb whatsoever!

    I love to hear from readers, so please feel free to send me a note or sign my guest book.
