Keli Gwyn: I write what I love to read: inspirational historical romances. I'm a native Californian living in a Gold Rush-era town at the foot of the majestic Sierra Nevada mountains. My stories transport readers to the 1800s, where I bring historic towns to life, people them with colorful characters and add a hint of humor. My favorite places to visit are my fictional worlds, historical museums and other Gold Country towns. I love to hear from readers and invite you to visit my Victorian-style cyber home at www.keligwyn.com.
