I was born in the shadow of the Blue Ridge Mountains in Western North Carolina. I met my husband, a Canadian while skiing in Montana. We have lived in many different locations across the United States and Canada. We finally settled in Western North Carolina with our dog Jesse. I worked for a bank in West Virginia as a network analyst. I am enjoying my time off to do research and write. A Chance on Sunday is my first mystery novel. I have three historical romance novels published under the pen name of Amanda Balfour. They are Rumors Among the Heather, The Call of the Raven, and Too Hard to Forget.
