She is also the proud "Gramms" of four equally adorable grandchildren. Blessed with a serious love of reading, she fell in love with the historical romance genre many years ago when her grandmother gave her some romance novels to read. When she decided to pursue her lifelong dream of writing, it was an easy decision to focus on the historical romance genre, and </font><em style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal"><font color="#000000">Mystery Lady</font></em><font color="#000000"> and </font><em style="mso-bidi-font-style:normal"><font color="#000000">Defying a Duke</font></em><font color="#000000"> are her first efforts. Free time is a rare gift, but when she manages to take time off, she loves spending it in Arkansas with her grandchildren, children, parents, and the grandmother who started it all.</font></span></p>
