Welcome
Romantic historical fiction. Characters who come alive on the page, witty dialogue,
historical immersion, fast-paced action, and a touch of mystery.
New in 2019 is my historical romance series, “The Daughters of the Empire”, richly detailed historical fiction with complex characters and lyrical dialogue. My writer’s voice is best described as “A Jane Austen and Robert Downey Jr. meet on the African Queen type of Historical Romance.” Be enchanted.
I am excited about my Sherlock Holmes series in which Sherlock’s landlady's niece is a potential love interest amidst this Victorian mystery. Sherlock Holmes is a great, fun hero to write because he is liked from the get-go despite being pompous and insufferable (or perhaps because of it!), something which might result in an unsympathetic hero in another narrative. While being true to the characters Conan Doyle created, the series draws on the imagery surrounding the beloved Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson, incorporates the witty banter into the relationship between Sherlock and Mirabella, and lends itself well to Steam punk, blending the "Age of Invention" with something old-fashioned, elegant, and slower-paced. Enjoy. The game is afoot!

Book #4
A VAMPIRE ARMY OF VENGEANCE
“No blood, no teeth, and now no scullery maid. What else shall go missing? I hope we may all leave this house with our limbs.” – Mycroft Holmes
To kill for the sake of killing—to target those unknown to oneself—is the most demonic act of all. Is it a Satanic cult or a witches’ coven behind the murders? Or is the legend of “Varney the Vampire” true? Are these killings an act of greed or vengeance? Or both? Mycroft’s exclusive Diogenes Club is targeted, with its members being found drained of all blood, their necks punctured with wolf-like teeth marks.
Praise for The Detective in Love Series
“Her humor is refreshing, I laughed out-loud on a few occasions, shed a few tears, and sat on the edge of my seat for most of it.”
– AnaMaree, owner, Wenatchee Book Co.
“Sir Doyle would enjoy. It has all the classic trappings of one of his novels. From the language to the descriptions of London and its denizens, it is historical fiction at its best.”
– Christopher Gallagher
“This is an excellent, gifted writer, with a true future ahead of her.”
– Charlotte Carter
