From the Author -
Briefly: I have written a bunch of historical romance novels (Avon Books, Zebra Books,) many of which actually won awards and one of these awards was almost considered prestigious. I finally stopped being able to write these novels when I began having fantasies of killing off my heroines—in really dreadful ways. I have also written five screenplays (optioned at Warner Bros., Julian Krainin Productions, Bright Light Pictures among others; I suspect I hold the record for most amount of options!)

Two of my screenplays have received excellent coverage: The Good Fight, Clarence Darrow’s most compelling case where he successfully defended an African American physician who was falsely accused of murder and a two part miniseries Harriet Tubman: Let My People Go.
