I specialize in female characters who, in spite of often unhappy, difficult personal circumstances, somehow manage to go after their own dreams.

Evaleen From Rags to Riches begins when Eva, a teenager, must find a way to support her mother and herself during the Great Depression, a time when there were few jobs, especially for someone so young and with no experience at anything. She dreams of riches and a great love.

Charlotte Parker Forty-Niner begins in 1850 when Charlotte, an upper class, proper Bostonian wife decides to leave her controlling husband and go to the gold fields of California to investigate her father's death. She does this at a time when women had few rights and a woman traveling alone was seen as highly suspect.

Today I am proud that I am one of the millions who will come to save our heroine from the clutches of the villain from across the Rhine.”
