About this author

Feisty women. Historical settings. Timeless entertainment.

That's what drives my desire to write and that's what drives my novels. They have been called Historical Fiction, Romantic Historical Fiction and Period Novels, but what I hope readers call them are entertaining stories. There is a healthy bit of historical detail in each one, but it is never my intention to give readers a history lesson. I read for pleasure. I love losing myself in a story, and I would love nothing better than to provide that same pleasure for readers.

If those readers also want to learn a few things about the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, the debut of belly dance in America, or the myriad challenges a facing small-time vaudeville theater in Old New York, then all the...more


Every year our family looks forward to attending the Southern California Renaissance Pleasure Faire, and one of the things I look forward to most is my annual toad-in-the-hole.

At the fair, a toad-in-the-hole is a pastry with a savory pork sausage filling. Although I've never had a toad anywhere but the fair, I've known it's a dish with a long history. This week I wanted to create this dish at... Read more of this blog post »

Dancing at The Chance excerpt (Literature & Fiction)
1 chapters   —   updated Jul 20, 2012 05:54pm
Description: New York City in 1907 is a kingdom of endless possibilities for anyone who dares to dream. The Gilded Age has ended, and immigrants fill the bustling streets. The glamour of Broadway lures those who desire the limelight-but only a few are fortunate enough to thrive in the lights of a city that casts long, dark, and merciless shadows... Pepper MacClair and her mother arrived penniless in New York thirteen years ago, and their fortune has not changed. A dancer of fluid grace and motion, Pepper is still only one chorus girl among many, struggling for an opportunity to prove herself worthy of something bigger. For now, Pepper dances at The Chance, a rundown venue long past its prime. It is not only Pepper's workplace, where she has pushed her physical endurance to its limit, but also her home. And as the larger world changes around her and she is pulled into the intrigues of New York's elite, it is her last hope, not only to fulfill her dream, but to fulfill her heart.
The Belly Dancer (Literature & Fiction)
1 chapters   —   updated Sep 03, 2009 04:52pm
Description: At the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, the modern, the exotic, and the ground-breaking collide. When Dora Chambers, an aspiring socialite, is charged with the task of enforcing proper conduct at the Egyptian belly dancing exhibition, she finds herself captivated by these marvelous women. And as her eyes are opened to the world beyond a life of social expectations, she finds the courage to break free and discover the truth about her own heart.
