About the author
I am a Canadian author who was born and raised in Southern Ontario. My love of reading dates back to my early childhood when reading books and listening to stories told by family members was encouraged and something I found to be great fun. When I was in the 3rd grade, I would often have to convince the school librarian to allow me to borrow and read books that were assigned to much higher grade levels. Through my love of reading, I soon discovered new worlds full of interesting characters and adventures that were brought to life in the theater of my mind. I found stories involving mysteries, ghosts and exotic destinations, whether real or imagined, of special interest. Some of my favorite authors include: H.G. Wells, Stephen King, J.K. Rowling, Charles Dickens, Jules Vern and many others. As well as developing a fondness for fiction, I also developed a great interest in history and would often spend hours reading about historic people, places and events. After the death of my maternal Grandmother in 2002, I started to develop an interest in my own family history. Since that time, I have spent over 20 years researching both sides of my family, making many interesting discoveries along the way. My paternal family tree reads like a 'Who's-who' of English, Canadian and American history and includes numerous members of English nobility, political figures, war heroes, inventors, writers, religious figures, business leaders and celebrities. I have spent many years documenting some of the more notable family members on my website: www.myancestryresearch.com. My family and ancestry research have also helped inspire my the Bloodlines Saga, beginning with my first novel Bloodlines: Cove Point Manor, followed by Bloodlines: Of Noble Blood and Bloodlines: Brenda's Revenge. By combining my knowledge of DNA research, historical research and fictional storytelling, I have created what I hope to be believable fictional stories that put a new twist on traditional story telling.
