Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I have been writing since childhood. After publishing over three hundred articles and short stories, I have published over twenty-five novels. I enjoy penning contemporary and historical novels for adults. Originally, from Houston, I now live in the southwest with my family and assorted pets. I have been a kindergarten teacher in public schools for a number of years and have drawn inspiration for my children’s stories from personal experience.

My latest book is titled, A RELATIVE MATTER. It is perma-free on Amazon. I was inspired by research into the Regency time period. I find the customs intriguing.
