I just have to say that your books have spurred my interest in the 1940's and 1950's decades even more! What has inspired you to write your books in this particular time frame? Thank you for your time. :)

Hi Victoria!
I'm so happy that my books have spurred your interest in the time periods of the 1940's and 1950's. Thank you!
I am drawn to hidden history and stories of strength through struggle, so I look for topics (and time periods) that contain those elements. My books all contain themes of hope, courage, love, loss and the miraculous nature of the human spirit. That inspires me!

What gave you the confidence to undertake the years of research on 'Between Shades of Grey". Did you write a dynamite proposal and have a publisher's commitment ..or did you have tremendous self confidence..(and I look at that as a plus.) Did you have any life experiences in the past that helped you soldier on?
