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 take a listen. I love Lillian Rachel’s voice on a particular character.

I 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.

And over on my Bookstore Blog I write-up book reviews focusing 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, Ancestry and Folklore, Antique Homes, Discovered Journals, Ancient Forests, Candlelight and Firelight, Village Festivals, Ghost Stories, The Olde Ways.

All things Romantic, Mysterious, and Beautiful.
