I have always been a reader...was fortunate to grow up in a home filled with books to which I had free access as soon as I was able to read. Book banning, history white-washing, censureship are abhorrent to me. The authors who influenced me early on and most defined my taste were Alexander Dumas (père), Karl May, Jules Verne, Dostojewski, Theodor Storm, Margaret Mitchell, Sergeann Golon, Mary Stewart, Jane Aiken-Hodge, and other great romantic suspense and adventure writers. Not to forget the magic of movies...Captain Nemo and Prince Valiant...et c.
Mixing characters of different nationalities comes as naturally to me as mixing humour with suspense, romance, and adventure. If I don't enjoy writing the scene, I usually know I'm on the wrong track.
Please feel free to leave a comment or two. I appreciate your visit and your opinion, and by all means, subscribe to my newsletter! So I have a reason to write one. :)
Oh, and an important note about my historical books: They should no longer be offered as newly printed, and even some used ones are suspect. I cancelled my contracts with the publisher in 2005! Please don't support these shady dealers.
On a bright and -- for me -- beautiful note: My first contemporary novel is now available. A mystery, "Wild Violets" challenged my brain: the clues lie in the mundane details! :)
Thank you.
Gina
Accomplishments: Writing related, I'd like to let you be the judge. Personally, I'm still here and the sky is still blue above the clouds. Amazing.
