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 and just for fun.

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

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

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 an author with a degree in English Literature. I exchanged my creekside cottage in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains for a New England farmhouse in the woods of New Hampshire.

What Do I Do?

I write stories weaving the past with the present from my studio in New Mexico’s 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, Moonlit Lakes, Discovered Journals, Ancient Forests, Ghost Stories, Turrets and Towers, Shingles and Stained Glass, Folklore and Fairy Tales, Vintage Navajo Jewelry, Hundred-Year Old Parlor Pianos. All things Romantic, Mysterious, and Beautiful.
