I started writing historicals and completed several set in Chicago and Colorado in the 1800s. But I was drawn to the contemporary suspenses filled with action and adventure that I read. I now write fast-paced action/adventure suspenses. My novels have won several awards:

From The Heart Romance Writers’ Golden Gateway, 2nd place

Oak Leaf Award of Excellence, 2nd place

Stella Cameron’s Scarlett Boa Contest, finalist

KOD’s Daphne du Maurier Award of Excellence, 3rd place, Single Title Mystery/Suspense
