She currently lives in Southern California, sharing a mobile home with her husband, four children, three pet rats, a leopard gecko, three cats, and a dog. Caprice home-schools two of her children and sews wedding gowns and Renaissance costumes in her spare time.

Caprice talks about her writing:

As a child, I enjoyed fairy tales like Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella. When I started reading for myself, I loved classics like the Chronicles of Narnia. But when I grew up, the fantasy I found wasn't anything like the kind of fantasy I loved. While Middle Earth was fascinating, I was more interested in people than battles, languages, and surroundings. Modern fantasy was too often of the "sword and sorcery" type, or it contained far too much gratuitous sex and foul language for my taste. And the women protagonists were usually warriors. Why must a woman wield a sword to be worthy of interest?

When I couldn't find the kind of story I wanted to read, I wrote my own: The Duke's Handmaid. Yes, there's a whole new world to explore: Byntar has twin suns and twin moons and two sentient races. But the world is just background to the story, which is really about the characters. The heroine is a peasant girl who never touches a weapon, yet saves the life of the king, queen, and duke through her bravery. There's also a hero, but my "Prince Charming" married the wicked stepmother before he ever met his "Cinderella".
