Alert me when new Sheila Simonson titles are added

Bio: I was born in Montana and raised in eastern Oregon, graduated from the University of Washington, and have advanced degrees (English and history) from the UW and Portland State. I taught at Clark College in Vancouver, WA for more than thirty years before I retired to write full time. I've had nine novels published--four regencies and five mysteries--and am now collaborating with my friend, Sarah Webb, on a YA fantasy set in Ireland before the Christian era. I also continue to write mysteries and might even write another regency if the spirit moved me. I've been happily married for many years to a man who is not only terrific but a great photographer and a computer genius. I have a son whose company I enjoy and whose Rhodesian ridgeback, Mugabe, is the model for Towser in Buffalo Bill's Defunct, my current mystery. I also have a cat, Ethel White, who is less jolly, but I'm used to her. I enjoy cooking, traveling, and reading (all kinds of fiction, archaeology, and history). I've taught fiction writing, science fiction, and Irish history, among other things, and I miss teaching mainly for the students, who were wonderful. It may be that growing up with four brothers and a sister has had greater impact on my fiction than my other life experiences, but who knows? I enjoy their company, too.
