Thanks for stopping by!
It’s no accident that many of my pieces have a Southwest flavor. An Anglo-Hispanic, I grew up in Lawton, Oklahoma, close to the Fort Sill Indian Reservation where Geronimo and other Indians were imprisoned, and my writing is colored with my experiences growing up so close to Indigenous Peoples’ cultures. I call them modern-day cowboy and Indian Westerns.
I am not a formula writer, so each book is written with the voice, color. and texture needed to enhance the story.
