About Me
I live in Denver, CO and have always been intrigued with genealogy and family history, particularly with the mysteries and stories that get lost through the years. Through historical fiction we can sometimes give people of the past a chance to be heard again.
Please feel free to contact me to share your ideas and interests. Do you have a story idea?
Do you have a book club? I would be happy to provide any of my novels as a featured book club read at no cost to you.
Send me an email. I would love to hear from you!
