Hi my name is Jean…and I’m a romance author!

At this point in my writing career, I want to start sharing with you my thoughts and ideas in my blog. On Wednesdays, I’ll write about what’s happening with my writing or what’s growing in my garden. I’ll also share a favorite recipe or a really cool interview with someone from the writing world. You never know what’s going to pop up in this blog!

Today I’m going to tell you about me.

I’m a writer. I love to write, and I’ve done it for a long time. I love history. I consider myself an armchair historian. I’ve combined those two loves and now my words come from my heart.

My characters face tragedy, sacrifice, and love in 19th-Century America. I adore strong female characters facing adversity in a time when it really was a man’s world.

Right now I’m working on a series set New York’s Hudson River Valley in the 1830’s. The first book, titled “The Reluctant Debutante,” is the endearing story of Clarissa and Nicholas and is now available at all your favorite online stores.

Future adventures include Clarissa’s best friend Laura, who really needs to share her story, and Olivia the ice queen, who makes a play for Nicholas, our hero in the first book.

Next week, I have something really special to share, so check back. We’ll see you then!
