About

Hello! Welcome to my little corner of cyber space. I'm a New England native who once dreamed of raising my family in Europe and avoided anything that had to do with the American West (apologies to a large chunk of the USA). Today, I'm a walking testimony to God’s sense of humor, since I live quite happily in Montana with my husband of twenty-four years, one college-age daughter, one teenage daughter, a sweet-hearted Alaskan Malamute, three horses, and an ever-changing number of chickens.

Look for my latest release, The Daze Before Christmas, a holiday romance coming November 1, 2024. (Are you sensing a theme in my books? 😉)

When I'm not immersed in writing or honing important life skills as a mom and homemaker (and forging the waters of homeschooling), you can find me knitting anything from clothes to toys, crafting for the home, or looking forward to a white Christmas--yes, even in June. 😊
