About this author

I am the authors of several Pride & Prejudice re-imaginings as well as two Persuasion re-imaginings. I have also written a modern love story, The Second Date, Love Italian-American Style, and two British mysteries, Three's A Crowd and A Killing in Kensington.

I am a wife, mother, grandmother, volunteer, reader, writer, serious recycler.

When I read for relaxation, I read mysteries. My greatest love is history. When I am doing the research for a new book, I love digging for historical nuggets.


It's launch day for my latest Pride and Prejudice re-imagining, When They Fall in Love . I hope you will join me at Austen Authors to help celebrate and to be entered in a giveaway of two e-books.
When They Fall in Love is available in e-book format from:
AmazonBarnes and Noble
The paperback version will be available in late April. Read more of this blog post »
