A Regency era (early 1800s) and Jane Austen enthusiast, she brings the flavor of diverse peoples to her stories. Since she was seventeen, Vanessa has won awards for her writing and enjoys bringing her tales to the world. She lives in Atlanta with her military-man hubby and precocious child. You can catch her writing from the comfort of her Southern porch, with a cup of Earl Grey tea, or cooking in her spicy kitchen.
