Writing Strong Women Since 1999.
I began writing what would become the first Guinevere novel in September of 1999. That book took me over a decade to complete. The others have gone faster (Been Searching for You took only two months), but what hasn’t changed is my passion for what I do and for making sure my books are ones I would be proud to have any woman (and her daughters) read.
I started out as a historical fiction writer, and that will always be my first love, but I’ve recently branched out into contemporary romance/women’s fiction and non-fiction, too. It wasn’t a conscious choice. When a character comes to me and asks me to tell her story or an idea insists on being explored, I can’t resist.
No matter the time period or the genre, I believe in writing about strong women. They may be able to wield a sword, use magic or simply stand firm to what they believe in. History has had enough passive, docile women. It’s time for new role models to have their say.

Interesting how you’ve evolved as a writer. 10 years? I think my first complete novel took my a year to finish, but I was in college. So, I had all that extra time!
So great to hear from you, Jay! I was in college too, but the book was just something I played around with when I was bored…a hobby. There were years and years in there when I didn’t touch it. It wasn’t until 2008 that I started taking it seriously.
