Despite a background in technical writing, I love writing fiction about strong women. My most recent book, A New York Lady In Helldorado, received excellent reviews from Kirkus and the Historical Fiction Co. and was a finalist in the 2023 American Writing Awards. I am a second-generation Arizonan and a history enthusiast. My history teacher dad quizzed us at the breakfast table. I am a member of the Historical Novel Society, the Arizona Authors Association, and the Arizona Territorial Society. I love to travel and am fortunate to have visited much of this beautiful country and the world. I publish a travel blog at: https://wanderinwalkers.wordpress.com/ ...more

I would love to walk in their shoes, taking walks and drives in the parks, partaking in afternoon tea and stimulating conversation. But I'd probably want to leave after a while. (less)

GIBRALTAR AND WHERE I GOT TOUGH

During our 2018 Moroccan trip, we took the train from London to Paris and then to Barcelona. But when we arrived at Gibraltar, an English-speaking British territory, I had to reveal my talons for the first time. It’s a bit of a story, so sit back and enjoy the read.

After visiting Barcelona, we realized our timeline would force us to zip through the rest of Spain with one short overnight stop in M

This was an entertaining read if you are familiar with Hayley Mills' film career. I was saddened by the choices she made as a young woman and how she struggled with low self-esteem. I suppose that she was a typical victim of the child star syndrome. ...more
