Always more interested in Tomorrow than Yesterday, C.J. was pleased to discover the American Past offers a wealth of backgrounds for some of her offbeat story ideas. Combined with her fascination of the extra-normal, the discovery led to MOON NIGHT, a Time-Travel Romance, electronically published by Hard Shell Word Factory.

Although she lives in the Kansas City, Missouri area, C.J. prefers rustic settings for her stories. Creating intense relationships and helping them unfold through intriguing, subtle or whimsical interplay is her idea of fun. She says, "Story plotting is like weight-lifting for the brain. You collect puzzle pieces and then find places to fit them."
