Biography

I love Regency romance because of the formality, the decorum, the barely suppressed passions running right beneath the surface. I love it because the Regency period was one of huge social conflict, and we all know conflict makes for good stories. As a period in which women suffered great inequality and injustice, the Regency period is a perfect setting for exploring women's passions, intellect, and identity.

This is what you'll find in my novels and novellas, I hope--heroines trying to figure out who they are and where they fit into their restrictive worlds; compassionate (and hunky) heroes; and laughs, lots of laughs.

Oh, and some steamy bits! So bring your fans, dear readers. It may get hot.

Do You Listen to Music While Writing? What Kind?

Favorite Character You Created

So far Mr. Tobias Blake, who does not yet have a draft of a story but is a side character in multiple WIPs. He's ridiculous because he enjoys it and as a form of protest; he believes in the equality of all men and women and their right to choose their own destinies.
