Author Bio

          After we lost our home to a fire we were forced to live in our car. while my husband worked I stayed in the car with our pets. I read a lot of books and then started to write my own book. I wrote it long hand then would type the pages on an old manual typewriter I found. I wrote every day while my husband looked for work. The result was my first book, Twice In A Lifetime.
                Today we are still homeless but now live in an old motorhome. My husband has found full-time work and I still write every day although now I write on a laptop my husband surprised me with for Valentine's Day.

Book Excerpt 
As they entered the room Kaireen saw the profile of a large man sitting in a wing chair with his legs stretched toward the fire.
          “My Lordship, Miss Ramsley has finally arrived safe and sound.” Enid said.
          He got out of the chair and turned to approach Kaireen. She had to suppress a sudden urge to smooth her wet hair and travel worn skirt.
          He was younger than she expected. She knew he had recently returned to the castle after long years of abandonment so she had expected a much older man; the earl was only a few years older than she was.
          Firelight played on his golden hair bringing out the deep red within. His eyes were deep blue pools in his chiseled face. Beautiful was the only word that came to mind. She thought he looked like Apollo, the sun god.
