About Peggy
From early childhood, Peggy dreamed of writing stories, but fiction eluded her as years passed. In the meantime, her editing business kept her busy editing candidates’ advanced honors degrees, master’s theses, doctoral dissertations, and post-docs. She also edited faculty research in many disciplines. She edited fiction for various authors. Apparently by osmosis, she learned to write fiction. Once the words started, they never stopped.
Gardening and travel provided grist for the mill of Peggy’s creativity. Her earliest publications (and continuing) were essays in nationally distributed magazines on those subjects, among others. She received an honorable mention in a Writer’s Digest contest, placing at #68 of almost 1800 entries for creative nonfiction articles. Her cozy mysteries have been finalists in the St. Martin’s Press Malice Domestic Competition four times. Throughout the years, she published short fiction in nationally distributed magazines, ezines, and anthologies. See This and That page.
Peggy has also published seven books! An Independent Woman, a Regency romance; The Mysterious Face, a romantic suspense; The Uncertain Heart, Book One of a Regency novel series titled Heart Series; The Merry Heart, Book Two of a Regency novel series titled Heart Series; The Divided Heart, Book Three of a Regency novel series titled Heart Series; Silver Shadows, Stories of Life in a Small Town, The second edition of Challenges on the Home Front, World War II. Find out more about each of her titles on her Books page.
