I have published five of my books. All are available at lulu.com, and two, "Pemberley's Promise" and "Drive and Determination" can be purchased at amazon and other online book sellers. Whether you live inside the U.S. or outside of it, check with your local bookstore about ordering. They should be able to get "Pemberley's Promise" and "Drive and Determination" (and soon the other 3) for you. Larger book stores may not even charge you shipping. :)

About Me!
I wrote my first piece of Jane Austen fan fiction in August, 2001 and have enjoyed doing so ever since. All of my pieces to date are based on Pride and Prejudice, being my favorite of all her novels.  I am married and have one son who also loves to write, having gotten his degree in Creative Writing. My other creative outlet is crafts, and I do a variety of things from tole painting to cross stitch to scrapbooking. I also enjoy playing volleyball and softball. My husband and I live on 10 acres in the country and we have two horses, 2 goats, and 5 cats.
I am a Christian and work at my church doing the publications, website,
and a variety of other tasks. Thank you for stopping by!
