About the author

After a short stint at life in big cities, my husband and I purchased my Great-Grandfather's house and moved to Brainard, Nebraska where I grew up. I've been a cook most of my life, have four kids, three grandkids, two dogs, and two cats. I have always loved writing though I didn't seriously enjoy my craft until my kids got older. It was then that I traded my diaper changing, late night feeding time for my writing time and I've been writing ever since! I enjoy historical and contemporary romance and also write humorous essays about life. 'Sally Murphy' is my first published novel, a historical romance set in turn of the century, small town, Nebraska.
