About
ceci est la couleur de mes rêves
Born in Chicago, I took on a fascination with art and the marvels of the world from a young age, having been distracted in class doodling, and digging holes for fossils and treasure. It was little wonder I decided to make a career out of it, and pursued art history, anthropology, and the fine arts at Gettysburg College and the University of Glasgow.I've been an avid equestrian over the years as well, competing in the hunter/jumper world and trying other disciplines. I still have my childhood horse I grew up with, Gatsby, and my new guy, Grogu. My love of horses manifests in my professional career, and I have worked primarily as an equine artist, equine historian, and consultant for horses in media.At present, I work as the Curator of Exhibits at the International Museum of the Horse at the Kentucky Horse Park, and continue to write, make art, and offer my knowledge and services outside of that.

It’s 1567 in Aix-en-Provence. Oste is one of the city’s physicians, and a confraternity leader. Dorotèa is a member of that confraternity, and carries the secret that she’s the masked duelist who has playfully sparred with him for years. Together, they enjoy friendship and fencing right up until the tumultuous state of France catches up with them and leaves Oste severely wounded after getting caught in the middle of Reformation conflict.Though he’s back to work come summer, Oste is displeased to find that his own confraternity sent Dorotèa to assist him with his duties, and even more displeased that she gets mixed up with a murder case he’s assigned to her first day on the job. While they agree to a reluctant alliance, neither had anticipated how much it would be challenged when more dead girls point to a monster in their midst, all the while their childhood friendship starts to kindle into something more. Dorotèa and Oste find themselves working together not only in a desperate bid to get a killer off the Aixois streets, but to seize peace again for themselves.
