I recall the winter of my first grade year, basking in the heat from our fireplace in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Dad read aloud Madeline L'Engle's A WRINKLE IN TIME and Mom peeled orange segments for us to enjoy. That was the definitive moment I fell in love with fiction.
 

I write frequent articles about the nineteenth century American West–every subject of possible interest to readers, amateur historians, authors… as all of these tidbits surfaced while researching for my books. I also blog monthly here, at Sweet Americana Sweethearts.

I love to hear from readers! Please drop me a note. Or find me on Facebook.
