Completing a Quest
It’s hard to put into words the way I’ve been feeling the last few months because I’ve never been to this place before or anywhere like it. I feel like someone hit the pause button on my life after my daughter was born, and then just pressed play again. I woke up. For the last […]

Mabel Hartley the Crusader’s Hoard is LIVE

First there was lunch with my dear friend and editor Charlotte, the meetings with friends around the island that seemed to reinforce the celebratory spirit of the week.

Major milestone reached
I have just finished the final draft of my third book Mabel Hartley the Crusader’s Hoard! Wait, is there a parade marching down the street, flares going off in the sky, or is that just how great it feels to see something meaningful through to the end? I’ve been working on this book in some shape […]
Review: Touched with Fire: Manic Depressive Illness and the Artistic Temperament by Kay Redfield Jamison
