About Me:
I began writing around 1989 after attending a family reunion, where my cousin, Nora Roberts, handed me a copy of one of her books. Having always loved great historical fiction, my heart got racing toward a desire to write. Or I might truly admit that the desire was rekindled. In many of my stories, I write about the struggles endured by early colonists, with a mixture of both American and English history. Readers will find that my books do not follow a genre formula. I allow each story to take on a life of its own.

My newest novel, Surrender the Wind, a story of romance and mystery set in Virginia and England, is scheduled for release through Abingdon Press in August 2009.

Maryland Fiction Writers Pages

Since there is no place on the main page for me to post this, I'm posting in the blog feature. Maryland Fiction Writers will not accept any adult content, erotica, whether in written form, graphic content, or a book cover. No pornographic work is permitted. This is a family friendly website where readers can visit without being offended. If you are a writer visiting MFW and are considering joining, if you write hardcore erotica, this is not the network for you.

Hi Gail,

The Publisher is Abingdon. They've been publishing non-fiction religious books for over 90 years and is highly respected in the industry. They are breaking out of the box and will be launching a line of fiction of various genres beginning in Fall 09. My novel, a historical, will be in the initial launch. I'm certain they will have an imprint. I'll know more soon.

I forgot to say that I just added my book covers to the photo album. I'm not sure if I did it right, but I'm trying.....
