In my first career, I worked in a laboratory setting. In my second, I got an MS in Textiles and became an academic advisor and college instructor. I’ve mounted exhibits, lectured on historic quilts, and published articles. My novel incorporates both historical textiles and the stories of women in history. I believe in the power of second chances. My husband and I live on Cape Cod. When I'm not writing, I love to explore antique and quilt shops, sing in my church choir, and travel.

I like mysteries with a happy ending. I adore traveling to new places. I love to tour castles, historic homes, and visit textile museums—especially quilt museums. I'm a Downton Abbey junkie—any costume drama for that matter. Have you seen Victoria on PBS? Another version of a Jane Austen book on film? I’m all in. I love Instagram. When I’m not writing, I enjoy crafting, all things quilts, walking the fabulous Cape Cod beaches, and singing in the choir at my church.
