Why the 1930s?
This decade sits at the heart of my stories — a time of courage, resilience, and quiet hope. In this Echoes through History episode, I share what draws me to write 1930s historical romance: the tension between hardship and faith, prejudice and belonging, mystery and redemption.

Discover how the echoes of this era continue to shape my characters and their journeys toward love and hope.
