When I was about 13 years old, I spent the summer in England with my dearest Grandparents. They took me on a cultural tour of England and first stop was Salisbury Cathedral. The stained glass there is world renowned, specifically a window called the “Prisoners of Conscience” has stuck with me all these years later. […]
Somehow on my second visit to the Big Apple, I ended up in a museum dedicated to medieval art and architecture, which is a bit of a miracle in itself, considering my third book has strong themes from this era.

The first night we arrived and checked into our hotel my jaw dropped. For the few days we were in NYC, I would pass this fabulous sculpture several times a day and every time I wanted to bring her home (but getting her into my suitcase would be the challenge). She is so NYC because […]
This is Grand Central and this year, our hotel was located right next door to it. I remember looking out the window the first morning we woke up there and thinking, “I can’t believe we’re waking up in NYC.” I loved staying next to the terminal because I knew, if my partner and I lost […]
