I live in small town Nebraska with my husband, a naturally born city boy and one kid in high school; another of my children is off making his own life, one is in college, and one lives an hour away with her young brood of three. We also have three wonderful rented daughters from Germany, and a borrowed daughter from Denmark. Since I grew up far from anywhere, I read romance novels I bought with my babysitting money at the local grocery store. Most of the time, I enjoyed them yet sometimes the endings annoyed me and I'd think, "I would end that better." I never considered writing as more than a hobby until I finished my first novel, and third release, Travis Pass. Once Travis Pass was complete, new ideas kept coming and now I find myself looking at life as if there are millions of stories to be written. Whether writing historically, contemporarily, or humorously, my work centers on life in small, Midwestern towns and the amazing bonds people form with their neighbors.
