She loves history, having studied archaeology in college, and has traveled extensively, living for almost three years in Denmark, which feels like home to her.

A single mother with two grown sons and two cats, she writes historical romance and contemporary romantic suspense within view of Colorado’s beautiful Rocky Mountains. In 2011, she was honored by the Colorado Pro Chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists with their Keeper of the Flame Lifetime Achievement Award for her work. Along the way, she and her team won numerous state and national honors, including the First Amendment Award and the National Journalism Award for Public Service.
