Welcome to my worlds.

Escape to a time and place where wishes are granted and dreams fulfilled and a perfect hero awaits.

Imagined realms—where are yours? If you could live in a different time or place, what would it be? I always thought I was born hundreds of years too late. I’d love to live in a castle. Or take part in the glittering Renaissance. Certainly dance at intriguing Regency balls.

All those dreams occurred when I was young. Of course. When I grew up, I realized none of those times had readily available headache meds, sanitation was practically non-existent, and—well—you can add the other modern necessities you wouldn’t want to do without.

Now I love recreating some of those worlds where we can enjoy the adventure but avoid the hardships.

Come with me to those places. Relax with your favorite drink, and follow your heart to imagined realms. Here you are safe. Here you are secure. Here your imagination can soar.

  

 

January 2012

I can't believe the new year has begun. I hope everyone has a tremendous 2012.

2011 ended with some happy news. Two of my stories did well in contests. I was thrilled and thankful at the honors.

SILVERHAWK, Giles and Emelin's story, won the 2011 Golden Pen.

HEART OF THE PHOENIX Stephen and Evelynn's story won the 2011 Golden Gateway.

It also placed second in the Emily, Heart of the Rockies, and Melody of Love contests:

and third in the Golden Palm and the Golden Rose.

(HEART OF THE PHOENIX was formerly entitled THE BLACK DAGGER)
