Wild Rapture

After my children were grown, I found myself restless, searching for ways to busy my idle hands and mind. I discovered my love of writ

ing, and I was drawn to the mystique of Native American lore. The Chippewa people have largely been ignored by historians, and Wild Ecstasy was a pleasure to write.

Having lived in St. Louis for thirty years, my husband and I moved to a small town when he retired from teaching. My dream house is peaceful and quiet, where an occasional curious red fox ventures onto the sun deck and peeks into my office, and where I can watch swallows building their nests and raising their babies right outside my kitchen window. It is a perfect place to create my stories.

I feel blessed to have found a “second life,” the first having been spent raising two happy and healthy sons. Writing my Native American romances is my small tribute to those beautiful first people of our land, who have suffered so much injustice.
