I love hearing from my readers and can be reached at 3.5 - A Cinderella rendition taking place on a wagon train journey to California, this novel will appeal to those who enjoy the adventurous spirit of those brave pioneers of the 1850s. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada, where I belong to the Las Vegas chapter of Romance Writers of America. I have two daughters and am forever proud of their accomplishments-and grateful, too, that both are the kind of loving, supportive daughters every mother hopes she'll have. There's so much to write about! With my shelves full of research books, I doubt I'll change genres again. Now I'm writing western romances for Kensington Lyrical Press, all taking place in the Gold Rush days of the 1850's. After publishing several Regencies with Ballantine, Signet, and Camel Press, I switched genres. However, my true passion has always been writing, so I quit my day job (something you're never supposed to do) and started writing Regency romances. I've had many jobs in my lifetime, including working for several years as a computer programmer/analyst. I lived in Canada for many years, enjoying skiing and riding horses, and am a graduate of the University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada with a B.S.

I was born and raised in Fresno, California, where I graduated from Fresno High School. First place (GOLD) winner in the Romance category of the 2013 Independent Publisher (IPPY) awards for THE LAST OF LADY LANSDOWN.
