 So many authors, too little time ... I have a few more authors to introduce from the Washington Romance Writers (WRW) "Hearts to You" luncheon for readers, bloggers, and librarians.

 I wrote KIDNAPPED AT THE ALTER because I loved the idea behind the title, but the book was retitled to FROM LONDON WITH LOVE.

    My great grandfather was the richest man in the county here in Iowa. There are actually articles wrote about him and what he did to help local people.

    The other interesting thing is my ancestors came from England as Coo and changed our last name to Coe after they got here in the 1500's

    I've always known we were half Italian and half Irish. Then my daughter started working on the family tree. It turns out my father's grandmother was the daughter of a Lenapee Indian Chief. Then on my Italian Mother's side her great grandmother was a Countess. It's so amazing when you can trace your family back to the early 1700's.

    I did some geneaology research a few years ago when I was given 6 months to Ancestry . com - My mother's father's ancestors had some interesting people - Rev Robert Jordan who came to Maine in the 1600's (Church of England) - he spoke in opposition to the Puritans & apparently spent some time in jail in Boston; another ancestor was a ship's captain & was killed by Japanese pirates in the 1500's

    I was told my maiden name was royalty in Italy at one point since it was proceeded with Di. I know there was a horse thief on my husband's side lol.

    my ancestor's names were altered slightly when they came to the US. In Germany, they were Fahrenstuck and Staudt. I don't know a lot about my Scots-Irish ancestors.
