I write traditional western mysteries and historical fiction, sweet reads with a thread of romance. My inspiration has always been Zane Grey, who I started reading in fifth grade. His vivid descriptions put me riding right along with the good guys and bad guys amid the red sandstone formations of the Painted Desert. I'm also drawn to The Code of the West, which laid out right and wrong for many parts of the Old West that didn't have any other law. Our country could sure use some of those timeless values today. My first historical, Fireflies at Dusk. was released in November 2023.
