An alchemist of Adventure ~ Writer of Historical Fiction, Historical Fantasy, Historical Fantasy Romance, weaver of history, mythology, alchemy, STEM, romance & a touch of passion for a heck of a ride... buckle up! Pittsburgh has provided an interesting, vibrant and eclectic place to grow up and eventually become a writer of stories - of perseverance against all odds - and edge-of-your-seat high-stakes romance. My writing is also touched by ghostly echoes which greet me as I hike or bike through what were once bustling sites from the age of industry of the region, now reclaimed by nature. These are the ethereal remnants of those who shed their blood, sweat and tears onto what is now sacred ground. Come dive into the stories shaped by these unique forges. The twists in the path are unexpected, fraught with danger, but always worth the journey. Where passion and love take root unexpectedly, bloom, and somehow manage to survive against all odds one surprising way or another.
