edit data

I’m a retired high school English teacher. Currently I'm on the Board of Directors of the Colorado Authors' League, the oldest writing organization in Colorado. I also belong to the RMC-SCWBI, the Historical Novel Society, the Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers, and the Egyptian Study Society.

Cheryl Carpinello answered Jemima Pett's question: Are there going to be more in the Young Knights/Kings Ransom series - it says Book One on the cover? Hi Jemima. At this point in time, my 3 young knights have not shown any interest in further adventures. I keep waiting for them to pester me, but all is silence. Cheryl
