I’ve always loved history. Way back in junior high, my mind
would wander far from the class lectures on dates, battles, and treaties to
musings on what it might have been like to live in another time. For the past 30-something years, I’ve used
that same curiosity to explore the past through social histories, diaries, old
maps, attending re-enactment events, and use it all to enhance the settings of
my novels and the attitudes and mores of the characters that populate the
stories. I like to imagine these books as a passageway to another time, where
readers can escape to a bygone era while being entertained by a good story.
Born in New York City, I live in central Connecticut with my
long-time husband and two dogs.

the old king’s unwilling son and unite against the evil power that seeks to
subjugate them.

Four years after a near fatal blunder uproots her from her
home and inheritance, Anne Darvey, daughter of the Marquess of Esterleigh,
finds herself an indentured servant on a farm near Fort Edward in New York, as
the British army advances toward Albany. Driven by guilt over the pain she has
caused her father and grief over her lover’s death, she sets out to deliver a
message. The consequences lead to the discovery that all is not as it seems,
and sets in motion events that lead to love and danger.
Set against the backdrop of the American Revolution, Courting the Devil is the second book in “The Serpent’s Tooth” trilogy, which follows Anne from her childhood in the rural English countryside, to London society, and into the center of the American Revolution.

Faced with an impossible choice, Anne is torn between her
love for her husband and the hope of her father’s forgiveness. As the American
forces follow up on their tide-turning victories over the British at Freeman’s
Farm and Bemis Heights, Peter is drawn inextricably deeper into the shady
network of espionage that could cost them both their lives.
Is his commitment to the Rebel cause stronger than his hard-won love for Anne? Will her sacrifice tear them apart again...this time forever? Or will they find the peace and happiness they both seek in a new beginning?
The Partisan’s Wife follows Anne and Peter through the war torn landscape of Revolutionary War America, from the Battle of Saratoga to New York, Philadelphia and beyond.
