Welcome

Thank you for stopping by! If you enjoy the feel of the wind on your face, and the sky open before you, you have come to a good place to find the romance and flavor of the West.

The study of history is an ongoing fascination for me. In college, I studied American History taught by Dr. Raymond Muncy. He saw the study of the Western Expansion in American History as the examination of people and their times. How did their decisions affect their own lives and the lives of those around them? As I look at the way that people lived and worked, it reveals the thinking that shaped their lives. Work, housing, food, family, and religion are fundamentals for people at any time.

Visit my blog where I’ll share the day-to-day lives of people of the West during the 1800s. I love that time of our history, especially the romanticized view of it. I write that you may be a part of that time, and place, of the great American West. The land of larger than life men who braved the harsh elements and work of the frontier; and, the women, who stood by them, is the stories of my novels.


Check back often and enjoy!
