About the author
Living in rural Virginia near the Blue Ridge Mountains, she writes historical fiction and shares glimpses of country life on her author site. She has described her work as an effort to bring history to life through carefully researched characters and personal stories.
Her novels include Rule! and books in the Helena’s Stories series, such as A Good Place and Promise. On her site, she also writes about ancestry, family history, and the real historical settings behind her fiction.
An earlier strand of her career appears in nonfiction and scholarly work as well, including a Project Gutenberg listing for A Burial Cave in Baja California, coauthored with William C. Massey. Taken together, the available sources suggest a writer with a long-standing interest in the past, whether through research, history, or storytelling.
