Hi! I'm an American presently living in Brazil, where my husband and I serve as missionaries. We have two lovely young daughters. I have a Bachelor's degree in Bible and Elementary Education, and taught fourth grade for two great years before I got married. Fourth Graders ROCK!
As far back as I can remember, I loved reading, especially about historical places. The British Isles became my passion, Ireland in particular. My life long dream to visit the Emerald Isle came true in October, 1998. I spent a week in Ireland, not nearly enough time, and long for the day when I can return. The land is more beautiful, and more mythical, experiencing it live. I highly recommend it.
Besides writing for Suite 101, I also maintain a site on World War Two heroes of resistance, at www.ww2heroes.com.
I've heard to write what one is passionate about, so I combined my two passions, history and romance, to write historical romance novels. My first novel, "Shadow of the Wolf" a romance set in the early stages of WW2, is available for purchase at Mountain View E-publishers. http://www.trebleheartbooks.com/Lopessnop.html
Some hobbies I enjoy are rubber stamping and needle crafts such as crochet and cross stitch. I also like to play around with HTML and making graphics for my web site.
