About Me... |
Once upon a time there was a little girl who watched way too much television. Most of what she watched were the old Western series in syndication: The Lone Ranger, The Cisco Kid, The Rifleman, The Big Valley, and Rawhide. She lived in a home with parents who were John Wayne fans, so she also saw her fair share of John Wayne movies. Sunday nights, though, were reserved for Lassie. (Don't ask her how upset she got when one night, a football game going into overtime preempted that night's episode of Lassie.) She said, when she grew up she was going to have horses, live in Wyoming, and raise collies.
The little girl grew up, had two kids, went to college when her kids were in high school, earned a BA and an MA in English, but the messages within those syndicated Westerns and in almost all of The Duke's movies stuck with her. She grew up to be a romance writer--after raising her two kids. While raising those kids, she started to show collies. You can find out more about the award winning collies she shows here: Collies of Wych.
Those romances she now writes are set in the Old West--and almost exclusively in what is now the great state of Wyoming. She admits that she was probably born about 150 years too late and that she should have been a cowboy. She has a horse (has actually had the same horse for 30 years, and he is a gentleman), has property in Wyoming that one day she plans to retire to, and she's raised and shown collies for thirty-five years.
