History buff, Francophile, and hopeless romantic—the perfect mixture for writing romance! With fond childhood memories of reading on quiet afternoons, I loved the happily ever after sweet teen romances. As my love of history grew, I quickly plunged into the world of historical romance, my get-away-from-real-life transporter. With eleven published works in four different sub-genres of romance, I can’t decide which is my favorite. I love reading YA and New Adult romance, so perhaps that’s my next endeavor. I live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan with my husband of twenty-seven years, four children, and two Golden Retrievers. In my other life, I’m a licensed massage therapist and owner of a day spa. Can you think of a more relaxing place to write? The long Northwoods winters are perfect for plotting my next book, and in the mild summers, my family and I spend every free moment exploring the Northwoods. With every adventure, a new idea blooms. The forest is my happy place. Lake Superior’s awe-inspiring beauty is my muse. I live where I play, and I can’t imagine being anywhere else.
