I'm a retired high school English teacher. A devourer of books
growing up, my profession introduced me to writings and authors from times long
past. Through my studies and teaching, I fell in love with the Ancient and
Medieval Worlds. Now, I hope to inspire young readers and those Young-at-Heart
to read more through my Tales and Legends for Reluctant Readers set in these
worlds-Ancient Egypt, Medieval Wales, and coming soon, a hair-raising adventure
through ancient worlds in search of 5 rare Phoenix Feathers.
All of my books come with Free study guides and/or extensive
Back-of-the-Book materials.
My husband and I love to travel. In 2008, we spent three weeks in
Egypt traveling by local train from one end of the country to the other; in
2014, we spent three weeks in the UK driving over 1700 miles through England,
Wales, and Scotland; and in 2016, we spent a week in Iceland. We've also
traveled to Mexico, Jamaica, and Aruba. Our next big adventure will be to
Greece and Italy.
When I'm not writing or traveling, our 4 grandkids keep us busy.

Snippet #4. The Legend
Within the Legend
The day after her thirteenth Birth Day, Merlyn had
taken her and Cedwyn deep into the old magical forest surrounding the castle.
They came upon a herd of red deer. Mixed in the middle of the herd were fawns
and baby unicorns playing and jumping. When a fawn or unicorn escaped from the
center, the harts nipped it on the neck or hindquarters. Squealing, the youngsters raced back into the herd.
Merlyn explained the reason behind the harts’ behavior
with his story:
When the forest was young, unicorns roamed over the
entire island that is Britain. One day in a terrible storm, a red deer lost its
way and was carried across the water to these shores. Not knowing the land, the
deer became lost and unable to find fresh water. When the unicorns found it,
the deer was dying of thirst. They nudged and pushed the deer to fresh water
and later led it to the best grazing grounds and the safest places to bed down.
A few years later another deer was discovered on that same shore, and the
unicorns saved its life also. The two deer mated, started a herd, and promised
to protect the unicorns should they ever be in danger.
As the years came and went, the population of the red
deer increased while the population of the unicorns—constantly hunted as their
horns were considered magical—dwindled to almost nothing. And so when asked,
the red deer kept the vow made hundreds of years ago and protected the
remaining unicorns forever.
Guinevere learned that day there was little difference
between what the red deer promised the unicorns and what kings promised their
people. Guinevere, as a queen, would be expected to protect her people in
exchange for their loyalty.
