Welcome, Dear Reader

A pleasure you’ve joined me…

I’m in the thick of completing my first novel and getting close to finally writing “The End.”

But in the meantime I have plenty for you to discover right here, such as my narrated short story “Animas Forks” which I shared on social media, just for fun.

Click the play button above and take a listen. I love Lillian Rachel’s voice on a particular character. Hope you do too.

If you enjoyed “Animas Forks” click on over to my Passions and Obsessions Blog. I have a few more atmospheric yarns with curious goings-on ready for you, either my own or treasures from literature.

Over on my Bookstore Blog I write-up book reviews focusing mostly on works of fiction, contemporary reads as well as the classics.

But don’t forget subscribing at the bottom of this page before you leave. If I find a moment to share a book recommendation other musings—or any news—you will be the first to know.

I’m also on social media. Pinterest is where I’ll likely be, creating thematic storytelling-inspired boards.

Who Am I?

I am a writer with a degree in English Literature. A few years back I exchanged my Creekside Cottage in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains for an Antique New England Farmhouse in the Woods of New Hampshire.

What Do I Do?

Trotting back and forth between the Northeast and the Southwest I write, weaving the past with the present, mostly working from my studio in New Mexico’s serene high desert, the perfect place for crafting stories full of romance, mystery, history, a touch of something otherworldly, and a penchant for the Gothic Tale.

What Do I Like?

19th-Century Gothic Romance Novels, Ancestry, Folklore, Fairy Tales, Antique New England Meeting Houses and Burial Grounds, Discovered Journals, Ancient Forests, Candlelight and Firelight, Village Festivals, Ghost Stories, The Olde Ways.

All things Romantic, Mysterious, and Beautiful.
