I am an army brat and so appropriately I was born on an army post. I spent the next 26 years of my life moving around. I moved fifteen times and attended schools on three different continents and college on two.
After graduating from college with a degree in history and literature, I returned to Frankfurt, Germany which was my Father's last duty station. I worked there until I married and moved to Virginia.
I've been pretty stationary since that move though I did move back to Germany for four additional years.
My husband, Greg, and I had three daughters which we raised in a beautiful rural community along with numerous dogs and cats.

But I do use incidents from my life in my books but I twist and tweak them a bit. I refer to my work as biographical fiction. Often an incident from my past gives rise to an idea.

I saw this book advertised and since my favorite author Fredrik Backman praised it I thought I should give it a try. I really enjoyed listening to this on audible since the narrator's Swedish accent really captured the character for me.

Most of the books I read about WW1 take place in England. This was a different viewpoint since it takes place in a small midwestern town after the war. Many of the men have returned wounded in body and soul. Bella, the main character, also served ove ...more
