A Burnished Rose

About the Author

I grew up and live in south central Wisconsin. I am married and have two beautiful children. Interesting, I was turned off from reading in middle school by the books they forced us to read. Once I discovered a genre I enjoyed (nothing required, of course), I found out that reading wasn’t so bad, though I didn’t really get into reading until I was out of school. I started writing in college as a diversion from school work. Initially, I was motivated after reading some of the very poor children’s stories I had read to my young nephews. I decided I could come up with something better, and it just grew from there. I would describe myself as a jack of all trades and a master of none. I enjoy working with my hands and working with people–-hence my full time job in Physical Therapy clinic where I manage the clinic and work as a Physical Therapist. My second love to writing is history, so placing Rose in a specific time in history, surrounded by real events and real places was very appealing and great fun. In fact, it’s how I write. I can’t seem to write about a place or a character unless I have some information already set around them, even if that information is fictional.
