Tell
us about your life outside of writing.
I love to travel. I just returned from a
trip to Greece for a navy reunion (I was married there). And a trip to England
where I visited fellow author Anita Davison. We’ve been cyber-pals for 13
years, but had never met face-to-face. I also like creating graphic art,
wine-tasting with my husband, and playing with our new puppy, Lilly.
Do
you have a work in progress?
Yes,
a story set in Greece during the 1950s. A romantic-suspense.
Was
there a person who encouraged you to write?
It
seems I’ve always loved to write. My mom encouraged me, then later my English
or Creative Writing teachers. They all said I had talent.
Five
years from now, where do you see yourself as a writer?
I
hope to have a best seller and a house in the Caribbean. I’m trying new ideas
to increase my sales, such as paid publicity.
What are you working on now?
My Greek story, A Spark to Ashes. A runaway
wife and a scarred professor collide on the Aegean coast in 1955.
When
the rebels overrun her home state of Pennsylvania, she flees with her family.
Are the people loyal to England welcome anywhere in the burgeoning United
States? Rowena struggles with possible defeat and permanent exile, plus her
growing love for an enigmatic Welshman who may have little need for affection.
Will the war destroy both their lives?

1789, the year of The French Revolution, and grain riots. Farmer Colum
Polwhele, a man with his own secrets, comes to her aid. Can a sassy San
Francisco gal survive in this primitive time and fall for Colum, or will she
struggle to return to her own time?
