close About Me
- Tagline
- Historical Romance Author
- Me, Myself, and I
- I found my love for all things tragic, passionate, and historic after taking a mythology course in college. The book wasn't Romeo and Juliet, as you might suspect, but Dante's Inferno, Oedipus, The Iliad, and a few other Greek tragedies. An artist by profession, I traded my paintbrush for a pen, and began to explore the realm of romance. In addition to writing Medieval romance, I teach graphic design part-time in St. Louis where I bring my passion for words and the arts into the grueling boredom of lecture. I am member of Romance Writers of America, Hearts Through History Online Chapter of RWA, and the Heartland Writers Guild. I am married to my high school sweetheart and live in Illinois with my two children, a dog, three cats, and two dozen chickens.
- Films
- Braveheart (of course) Elizabeth, 300, Kingdom of Heaven, Legends of the Fall, Titanic, Troy, King Arthur, Last of the Mohicans, Rob Roy, Tristan & Isolde
- Scared Of
