AUTHOR BIO:

My love of the sea began while growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, and continues today with visits and vacations to Cambria on the California coast.

While I’ve been an avid reader since early childhood, I didn’t start writing seriously until later in life.

I live in Arizona with my husband, a thankful rescue dog, and an insane but lovable cat.

Book: Secrets of the Realm

Synopsis: Secrets_of_the_Realm_coverBlamed for her uncle’s death, fifteen-year-old Annie is on the run. Knowing the dangers she will face on the streets of eighteenth century London, Annie disguises herself as a boy.

Her life changes course when she becomes Captain Hawke’s cabin boy. Not only must Annie work along side the Realm’s motley crew of outcasts and gentlemen, she must also keep her superstitious shipmates from discovering she is a girl.

Annie vows she will never leave the Realm, where dreams are chased, shattered lives can mend, and secrets are stowed like keepsakes in an old desk drawer. But when Annie’s past catches up with her, can she stay on the Realm? More importantly, will she have a choice?

GENRE:  Young Adult Historical Fiction
