Arline Chase is something of a late-bloomer — it took her until she was 40 to realize what she wants to be when she grows up — a writer, what else? By then she had survived being the mother of two teenaged boys who juggled homemaking and a full time job with college classes.

Arline's books have "some of everything"— history, mystery, adventure, sometimes the paranormal—but they always include a satisfying love story.
