Write what you know... I've taken this advice to heart, creating characters from small towns and plots that unfold in the great outdoors. A recent empty-nester, I grew up in a tiny Northern California town and currently live in gorgeous Lake Tahoe with my husband. When I'm not busy writing, I enjoy hiking or snowshoeing in the woods around my home with my dog, Ginger. Discover the beauty of nature woven into my fast-paced, romantic suspense novels.
