She likes a story that is well-told and intelligent with well-developed characters. She is a history and movie buff who enjoys a variety of genres, especially historical or romantic. Born and raised in Kentucky, she was known affectionately as DaMarie. She has been a longtime resident of Colorado. Both states hold special meaning, and the many experiences she's had are ones she draws on in my writing. She posts monthly on her personal blog, which provides an outlet when not working on her latest manuscript or enjoying the brilliant sunshine of Colorado's blue skies. Read More Read Less
