I'm glad you stopped by.  I'm the author of The Briarcrest Chronicles.  I live in the 
San Francisco Bay area with my partner of more than 20 years and our two fur-kids 
of Scottish Terrier descent.  

The Briarcrest series was originally conceived as a collection of three stories.  
The Heart’s Desire
begins the tale of Catherine and Lydia and tells how they meet 
and fall in love.  The Heart’s Strength continues the story some 20 years later 
and involves difficulties for the women of Briarcrest when they encounter rogue 
priests who arrive in Willowglen in the name of the Inquisition.  Book Three,
entitled The Heart’s Longing will bring the story and the women of Briarcrest 
forward into modern times, then take them back into history.  Writing and sharing 
these stories has been one of the most treasured experiences of my life.

In addition to this series, I write a column for the Just About Write sitea great web 
site filled with lots of articles on writing, humor and general interest.  The site also has
terrific book reviews by a host of thoughful reviewers.  I typically post at least one or 
two reviews a month on JAW myself. 

I also have several other books simmering in my brain.  There are, indeed, so many 
books...and so little time (both to read and to write)!
