I write Edwardian/WWI-set Historical Women's Fiction* and love to write about strong and intelligent heroines grappling their personal relationships and the thornier issues of their time. My stories span the globe and place a strong focus on the multicultural world of the turn-of-the-century, the class system, and the tough questions and conflicts with which people of the late 19th and early 20th centuries dealt.
In my fiction, I try my best to push beyond using the historical setting as "fantasy" or "fairy tale". I don't want to write historicals to present the past through rose-colored glasses, but about real people, experiencing real life as it was one hundred years ago. So if you think realism and history can be melded with wit, humor, adventure, passionate romance, and unforgettable characters, please stick around.
About me in general: I laugh at bad jokes (the badder the harder I laugh), love classic cinema, am obsessed with books and history, have a knack for sewing and fashion design, majored in Anthropology, attended nearly 15 schools on both coasts and in between from K-12, and my cat loves it when I drive over 70 mph.
