About the Author

I write women's fiction and romance. My longer works have been described as accessible character fiction. I also write shorter fiction in the genres of contemporary and historical romance. For tasters of my writing, the short stories, 'Opening Night,' 'The Ramblers,' 'The Family Tree,' 'The Office Party' and 'All the Trimmings,' are available to download for free from Smashwords & their retailers. Many thanks to all who have reviewed, recommended and rated my books. I really appreciate feedback from readers. My seven short historical romances are available in one volume, 'Collected Romances.' I am currently working on longer-length historical romances. 'The Laird's Right-Hand Lady,' a contemporary romance set in the Scottish Highlands, will soon be available on Smashwords.
