A little about me…
I worked in publishing for sixteen years (first in advertising, then as a fiction editor) and now write full time. The Secret of Pembrooke Park won the Minnesota Book Award. Three of my books, The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, The Girl in the Gatehouse, and The Silent Governess have won the Christy Award for Historical Romance. The Maid of Fairbourne Hall and The Girl in the Gatehouse also won a Midwest Book Award and The Silent Governess was a finalist in Romance Writers of America's RITA awards.
I graduated from the University of Illinois and enjoy
travel, research, BBC period dramas, long hikes, short naps,
and coffee with friends. My husband and I have two sons and
live near St. Paul, Minnesota.
