About Me…
I was once the kid who fell asleep in history class! What changed everything for me was the discovery that great books were all about people, not just names and dates.
As a high school English teacher I was excited to share my discovery with my students. As we read Ivanhoe and A Tale of Two Cities, history came alive to them, and I decided to write my own novels that take place long ago and far away.
I love the Age of Chivalry, Romance, and High Adventure. In 2022 the last of a three volume series, set in 12th century England, was published. In these books, Lady Alix and her younger brother, William, race across England to outsmart and outwit an enraged prince, sworn to destroy their family. The books have universal, Christian themes and appeal to Young adults and adults. All three can be found on Amazon (Free with Kindle Unlimited). Click on the titles in the menu above for details.
Since publishing those books, I’ve been working on another series, this time with older characters, ordinary people, caught up in the political chaos of 12th century England. Stay tuned for details!
On a personal note…
When I’m not writing, Bill and I, and our little cockapoo, Gracie, enjoy the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. It’s not Honolulu, where we lived and worked for twenty years, but the mountains and valleys are gorgeous. The people are friendly, and, believe it or not, life is slower paced here than in Honolulu. We love it here!
Anyone out there like to read? If so, I’d love to hear from you. Please go to the “contact me” page of this website and send me a note.
