Come into my world, a place designed as a tapestry of richness and color. I strive to create that impression in my books set in the past, so why not here?

It’s a quiet and stress-free zone. Linger for a while if you like; read the advice for beginning writers, scan the Frequently Asked Questions that explain how I came to this point, glance at my blog. You might even sign up for my newsletter.

And perhaps, eventually, you’ll come with me to another time and place, one where life is lived with honor and chivalry and danger has only a human scale. Books are our Great Escape from too much reality—mine while writing them, yours while reading them.

Hope to see you between the pages...
