When did you first start writing?
I began my career screenwriting over 20 years ago, but I discovered about a dozen years ago that I prefer the freedom that comes with writing novels.
What's the story behind your latest book?
My latest release - How to Land an Earl in Ten Days or Less - focuses on the Caribbean salt trade in the early 19th Century. Both Bermuda (where my heroine is from) and The Bahamas were engaged in a political struggle for control over the salt pans of what is *now* the Turks and Caicos. After her father was lost in a hurricane, my heroine travels to London in the hopes of lobbying parliament on behalf of the Bermudian claim.
Having traveled to Bermuda, I feel in love with the island and it was so nice to be able to bring the research I found on that trip into the creation of this book.
