On my first visit to Ireland, I visited Malahide Castle near Dublin. I was captivated by its stunning grounds and interior and its fascinating history, which often aligned with the fate of Ireland itself. Once I learned of its ghosts, I knew Malahide Castle, now the fictional "Castle by the Sea," would provide the perfect setting for my second time travel novel, "Eternal Beloved." "Before I Wake" is the first novel in my four-book time travel series, "Travels Across Time." "Before I Wake" deals with a pair of star-crossed lovers reuniting and fighting in thirteenth-century Cornwall during the time of Simon de Montfort's rebellion against England's king. I am the author of the six-book "Knights of England" historical romance series, plus "The Landlord's Black-Eyed Daughter," based on the Alfred Noyes poem "The Highwayman," which was published under the pseudonym Mary Ellen Dennis. Upon completion of "Eternal Beloved," I will say goodbye to my beloved Middle Ages and turn my "Travels Across Time" attention first to the Colorado Labor Wars and, finally, to a haunted roadhouse on Colorado's eastern plains that may bear a close resemblance to a tavern owned by my grandfather. When not writing, I enjoy time with my children and grandchildren and with Karma the Wonder Dog, my German Shepherd, who helped me survive COVID-19 and numerous other adventures.
