About the Author
I was born and educated in England, but I've lived most of my life in Canada. I was an educator for 25 years. It was a rewarding career, financially, spiritually and emotionally. After that I worked with my husband in the management of his businesses. He's a born entrepreneur who likes to boast he's never had a job! My final "career" was as Director of Administration of a global disaster relief organization. Anyway, not content to fade away into retirement gracefully, I embarked upon writing a romance, essentially for my own satisfaction. I chose the medieval period mainly because that genre of historical romance is one I enjoy reading. I have a keen interest in genealogy. This hobby has had a tremendous influence on my stories. My medieval romances are about family honor, ancestry, and roots. As an amateur genealogist, I cherished a dream (as do many) of tracing my own English roots back to the Norman Conquest-an impossibility since I am not descended from nobility! So I made up a family and my stories follow its members through successive generations. One of the things I enjoy most about writing historical romance is the in-depth research necessary to provide readers with an authentic medieval experience. I based the plot of my first novel, Conquering Passion, on an incident that actually happened to a Norman noblewoman. I hope you come to know and love my Montbryce family as passionately as I do.
