A Word from the Author

I started writing the Ancestors’ Secrets Series on a dare. One rainy afternoon, when I couldn’t find any new book to read, I was moping around and browsed my numerous bookshelves and kept mumbling that I should have picked up a few books at the mall the day before. After a while my daughter had enough and snapped at me, “Mom, stop whining! If you haven’t a book to read, then write one. I dare you!” Her challenge shocked me, but I started playing with the idea. Soon I was sitting in the armchair by the window with a notepad and started writing, and I’ve been writing ever since.
