Excerpt
Author's Note: After my children were grown, I found myself
restless, searching for ways to busy my idle hands and
mind. I discovered my love of writing, and I was drawn to
the mystique of Indian lore. What I learned about the
Native American people inspired me to bring their stories
to life through the wonderful genre of historical romance. Having lived in St. Louis for thirty years, my husband and
I returned to Mattoon, Illinois, when he retired from
teaching. My dream house is peaceful and quiet, where an
occasional curious red fox ventures onto my sundeck and
peeks into my office, and where I can watch swallows
building their nests and raising their babies right
outside my kitchen window. It is the perfect place to
create my novels. I feel blessed to have found a “second life,” the first
having been spent raising two happy and healthy sons.
Writing my Indian romances is my small tribute to those
beautiful first people of our land who have suffered so
much injustice. And I have just begun. My upcoming books
will continue with more passion and adventure and rich
historical settings. Enjoy!
