I am presently researching 16th and 17th century Germany. In fact in August I will be traveling to Germany with my brother. Other topics are Anabaptists that used the Rhine River to flee from areas of persecution, castle building, and 16th century wine growing.

My newest project is proposing a fourth story for my Heartsong series. If my proposal is accepted, Barbour & Co., Inc., plans to combine all four in one book. So if you haven't been able to find Proper Intentions or Lofty Ambitions, watch for them to come out again in this new format, entitled Ohio--tentatively in 2002. Right now I am doing research on Cincinnati, Ohio, in the 1830's for this story.
