Hello reader, My books are all about historical events that took place in the Chesapeake Bay and the surrounding areas. To ensure the authenticity of my writing, I devote lots of time to researching and exploring all of the locations mentioned in my books. Each place has its amazing history and atmosphere, and I try to capture some of that through my writing stories. I really hope that when you read my books, you feel like you've been transported back in time to the beautiful shores of the Chesapeake. My hope for you is that you experience a way of life that's full of history, heartache, and love.My own love story unfolded on the bay. I fell in love with my soulmate on the eastern shores of Maryland, among the sights and sounds of the Chesapeake and Atlantic Ocean. He was a divorced father of four girls, and I was a divorced mom of two boys and one girl. Our connection was unlike anything either of us had experienced; we like to imagine that our souls must have recognized each other from a past life and set out on a search to find one another. We quickly fell head over heels for each other and blended our families, as we said forever on the shore of the Chesapeake Bay.
