At the current time, I am a gymnastics coach and a writer of many types of fiction. I have a BA in English language and literature from the University of Chicago. I am half-American and half-Scottish. I spent many summers as a girl in Scotland, and moved to England at 16 where I finished high school at Bedford High School in Bedfordshire, England.My first novel, The Last Immortal, I wrote more than twenty years ago. It is the first of six novels in the "Seeds of a Fallen Empire" series that was finished in 2000 and finally published as an e-book in 2010-2014 after many years of trying the traditional publishing route. I have also written one fantasy novel, Curse of the Dragon Kings, which was written in 1997 and published as an e-book in 2010.As a writer, I started out writing mostly science fiction and also fantasy as I so much loved J.R.R. Tolkien as a girl. I also really enjoy historical fiction set in the days of ancient Rome, (and Egypt.) I am now writing more romantic and historical short stories.

Have you ever stopped to consider what matters most in life to you?
Bryan asked his friend Jessica one evening. They were twenty-one years old, in college together, and studying history on her bed in the dorm with the door open.
Of course. Money.
Said Jessica without a pause.
Well, all right, but I was talking about concepts and ideas as well,
said Bryan.
I want to have everything I need, when I need it, and most of what I want, when I want it,
said Jessica. Anything else that matters I will have to think about.
I want to keep my imagination.
