Minerva Spencer
Minerva Spencer is an author of historical romance novels. She also writes as S.M. LaViolette and S.M. Goodwin. Prior to becoming a novelist, Minerva worked as a criminal prosecutor, college history teacher, B&B operator, dock worker, ice cream manufacturer, reader for the blind, and motel maid. Now, as a novelist, she tries to write uncommon heroes and heroines in their own unique and difficult situations. When Minerva isn’t writing, she is probably playing with her dogs and birds, buying more beads and yarn than she has use for, and renovating her old house with her husband.
