Putting History back in Romance |
Reading has been such a large part of my life. I cut my literary teeth on such author's as Louis L'Amour, Nora Roberts and Janet Dailey. For me it wasn't such a jump from reading the wonderful tales these author's spun to imagining my own. Soon I was writing poetry, short stories and by junior high I'd written my first full length romance novel. Since then I've taken my love of history and my passion for writing and combined them into what I hope will continue to prove a successful career. With six books contracted, all of which are currently available, two in print and all six in electronic format. I'm currently working on three projects, an erotic paranormal romance featuring a ghostly love story, another Ancient Ireland novel, rich in the history of the Irish Celtic peoples, and plotting out a fantasy romance. Of course I've got a lot more on the go. Being a full time mom, wife, working outside of the house...its amazing what I manage to get done in a 16 hour day. |
