I am an American currently living in Cairo, Egypt. When my husband first accepted a job abroad I was nervous about leaving my home. In the end I decided that while I could always go home again, I might not get another such unique opportunity to see the world. I have never regretted it. Adapting to a new culture and learning bits and pieces of a new language isn’t always easy, but it’s certainly never boring!

In the nearly eight years that we have now been abroad I have taken advantage of every opportunity I have had to travel. I’ve come a long way from Louisiana, where I grew up! I have been to Germany, Greece, Turkey, India, Thailand, Vietnam, Cambodia, Oman, the United Arab Emirates, and now Egypt. I’ve seen some wonderful sights and met some lovely people. And I still have a lot of the world left to explore.

In addition to writing romance and women’s fiction, I also write tongue-in-cheek essays about motherhood and accounts of my travels – both of which you can read on my blog. And when I need a break from writing, I make quilts. I have covered all of the beds in my home and have even sold some commission pieces to help finance my travels!

I hope you enjoy the photos of my travels. Sorry you can’t see my face — as you can tell I’m the shy and retiring type.
