- I was born and lived my first eighteen years in Dallas, Texas, graduating from Richardson High School in 1975. I should have known I was destined to write when in the second grade I got an “A” for my story about Dick, Jane, and Sally’s ruined picnic.
I continued to experience some success in writing, winning an honorable mention for two stories submitted to TCU’s student writing competition as an undergraduate there.
For several years, I focused my talents on professional writing as I earned a PhD in Sociology from Indiana University. I learned two valuable lessons during that time: you can’t edit what you don’t have down on paper and the power of keeping things simple.
I learned more about the power of simple writing when my husband and I moved to Washington, D.C. I had the good fortune of having everything I wrote reviewed by some very skilled professionals who taught me how to tighten my writing for busy executives.
From D.C., my husband’s job carried us first to Honduras, then Mexico, and finally Moscow, Russia. My experiences in these countries have blessed me with people and places that inspire and populate my writing.
After living abroad for ten years, our family has returned to Dallas. Thanks to support from wonderful teachers, courses, and conferences, I have gained confidence and skill in my writing

I definitely didn't see the twists coming at the end, and I was completely taken by surprise! Just about flipped the e-pages of my book as fast as I could, but I do think that they could have been explored more in depth, though, because there's a lot on what happens in Wilhelmina's life adapting to be an Englischer, but not much time spent on developing the return of her father, or the confrontation with Beatrix. The latter, particularly, felt a little bit forced to me, because Wilhelmina's realisation that the necklace was sapping her powers seemed to be so coincidental, plus she kind of just moved on with her life after it? It may be something of a personal preference, but I honestly expected her to have a bit more of a struggle when it came to dealing with her best friend.
All in all, though, this was a quick, fun read and the ending does open up a lot of possibilities for a sequel, so here's to hoping!… (más)
