Author has written 51 stories for Twilight, Pride and Prejudice, Last of the Mohicans, and True Grit, 2010.

Bittersweet is my favorite flavor.

I'm a product of the '60's, raised in Southern California. The beaches were my home, but I'm a desert girl at heart though I now live in Maryland. Wife of one and mom of two, I enjoy research, daydreaming, talking to myself, and messing with canon elements of many stories.
