I'm a mother and romance writer who grew up in small-town Indiana. I studied psychology in college and worked off and on in the mental health field over the years. I now reside in Southern California. When not spinning tales of romance and fantasy, I can often be found with my nose buried in a book. I also love going for walks with my youngest son and taking Zumba classes. One of my stories, Bound to the Elvin King, won Ind'Tale's 2015 RONE award for best Sci-Fi/Fantasy.

Do you ever plan on returning to your Eria books? Love that genre, and thought you did an excellent job with it. Far,far better than a lot of the authors out there. Which led me on a search for "Captive," which is apparently no longer available anywhere. Anyway, thanks for the Eria books. They were great reads.

Thank you so much for expressing your interest in the series! That thrills me to no end. I'm actually working on the third full-length Eria book. Right now, I'm at 90,000 words, and I hope to be done within another 15,000 or so words. Keep an eye out for its release in the next two or three months:) As for Captive, yes, it's no longer available, unfortunately. I hope to rewrite the story (it was a short story) and expand it in the next year or two.

Will you ever write another time travel book based on characters from 'Saving Lord Avingdale' or the first book? Carson, the mysterious head of Inteillitravel would seem to beg for a book of his own.

Yes, I do plan to give Carson his own story at some point, though I don't know if it'll be a Regency time-travel. I have a few ideas for the story, but am trying to decide if I want to take it in that direction.

Thanks for asking!(less)
