Hello readers: I was born and raised in northern California, I hold master's degrees in history and broadcasting, and worked for many years in the public relations and marketing fields. An avid quilter and bocce player, I currently live in Boise, Idaho with my husband and two furry "sons" who don't seem to realize they're just dogs (my husband not included!). I love researching historical facts to weave into my historical fiction, sometimes with twist of romance added in. I hope you like my writing!
