Born in the Pacific Northwest, growing up in the foothills of the Cascades, my constants have been a love of learning, nature, ranching, art, family, and finally writing, which brings it all together. I work from our family sheep and cattle operation in the Oregon Coast Range, a desert home near Tucson, Arizona, or from our RV somewhere in the inter-mountain west via satellite link. Our cat kids travel with us-- unwillingly I might add. I wrote my first full length novel when I was in my early 20s (didn't submit it anywhere for publishing). From then, I have continued writing, with interests in historical, contemporary, suspense, and paranormal romances-- all based in the American West. My husband of over 50 years, who, I call Ranch Boss, and I have two grown children, and four grandchildren. I am a member of RWA and PAN.
"Throughout the read you find not just the mystical powers but the suspense, depth of characters, family dynamics and then there is love between Mitch and Elke Hemstreet."
- Marlene
"Wow! This newest series by a favorite author has changed my mind about curling up to read about witches, witchcraft, demons and mystical happenings. I was pulled into the book immediately with the suspense of the first chapter and I got so involved, I kept reading far into the night.."
- Judy E.
"What an exceptional book! I'm not sure what I expected, but this wasn't it! I picked it up thinking it would be a light romance with some paranormal or slight intrigue thrown in. I started reading and the book just pulled me in. There is fear, danger, evil, but there is also lightness and good. Love triumphs over all and goodness triumphs in the end."
