Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I wrote my first book Burgundy Gloves on a borrowed PC. When I wanted to dig it out I was shocked to find it on a floppy disc. Thank goodness for the local library who had an old computer that I could put it onto a flash drive. After a huge life shift, I gave my self-permission to pursue my little writing hobby and now have four books published on Amazon. I work by day with pregnant and parenting teens and have an addiction to Hallmark moves and baking. Both are good for the soul since we all need something predictable in our lives. Writing romance has become my passion and nothing warms my heart than hearing how others enjoy my stories.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
Love Covers was inspired by my years as a foster parent. Children’s resilience over crisis always blew me away. My hero survives an asylum upbringing after the civil war. Love covers a multitude of sin and other things. (Like a wagon train going west)
