Biography
After the death of her parents from Spanish Flu in 1918, Eden and her brother Harry were raised by Merton with the help of family friend Tillie Larkin. Eden would always look up to Tillie, seeing her as both a mother-figure and friend.
At the start of World War II, Eden lived in Garibaldi, Oregon with her older brother Merton. Her twin brother Harry recently moved to nearby Tillamook to serve as an air raid warden. Eden was employed with the Tillamook County Sheriff's Office as a secretary.
Planned Novels
The first planned book will take place in February and March of 1942 as America shifts fully to a war footing. The second book will take place in Portland at the Kaiser Shipyards, where labor clashes with management and an influx of women and minorities in the workplace result in violence and even murder. Woman's Air Service will center on the U.S. Navy's Tillamook Naval Air Station and the death of a flamboyant member of the Women's Air Service. The fourth novel is set late in the war, when a death blamed on one of Imperial Japan’s infamous fire balloons may be more than it seems.

Notes
- ↑ I kid. Sort of. As the Appearances section above suggests, I have four possible book ideas in the works. I've begun historical research, have created initial character sketches for Eden, her two brothers, Sheriff Birch, and childhood friend Jonah. I've even written some rough draft chapters. All that said, it's possible this won't go much further, depending on other projects and my own constantly shifting interests.
