Reading has always been one of Connie's favorite past times. During her early school years her favorite reading material was about animals, especially horses. While in high school she began reading historical fiction and claims to have learned more history from fiction than from text books.
Shortly before retiring from her government job Connie decided to write a book of her own. She didn't know what time frame she wanted to write about but knew she wanted it to be something about the settling of early America. After much research and thought she chose to begin by writing about life during the American revolution.
Besides writing Connie enjoys doing volunteer work at the animal shelter in her hometown of Austin, Texas.
While writing her first book Colonial Romance Connie got to know the characters so well she decided not to end the saga there. Hence came The Bugle's Call, about the second generation of the Black family. Watch for Texas Bound, the third book in the series about the adventures of the Black family.
