Welcome!
The women mentioned on these pages represent a fraction of women warriors in history. Records show
that women defended homes, villages,and castles. Like men they have duled for honor using sword or pistols. They have
been spies, terrorist, bandits, and pirates. They have fought in aerial combat, guerilla warefare, and hand to hand
combat.
I enjoy writing novels with strong women. My novels have been published and are available at Amazon.com and other
online bookstores. Bull Dancer and Onyx Owl are also on Amazon's Kindle
