Bio

As a kid I read biographies and histories because I wanted to know what people did. Then I peppered my parents with the question, “Why?” I pursued that passion earning a doctorate in U.S. History. decades ago. Now I write books about what people did, and how the culture they lived in helped or hindered their achievements.

American culture’s fascination with celebrity and uproar with Southern culture sparked me to write my latest book called Terry Bradshaw: From Super Bowl Champion to Television Personality.

Since I was always interested in transgressive sexuality, my first book looked at these images that came out of the movie industry during the 1920s and 1930s. It’s called, Hollywood Bohemians.

I enjoy Washington, D.C. immensely with so much great development and more excitement added to this city. The baseball stadium made me wonder about the city’s history of built and proposed stadiums. This work led to a second book, Capital Sporting Grounds. Capital Sporting Grounds

The unlucky status of Washington’s basketball history led to my third book, The Bullets, The Wizards and Washington, DC Basketball.

I’m fortunate to have a great husband for the last seventeen years and many good friends.
