I am not a big woman and never have been. Weight has never been an issue for me, not until I hit 55 and my thyroid decided to go wonky, and my hormones were all over the place. I promptly put on 30 lbs. for no apparent reason. With that came some extreme self-loathing. I […]

No question, writing dialogue in a novel can be tricky. Each character has a unique voice distinct from the others in the book. Since I’ve never been particularly good at description, letting the characters tell the story is my favorite way to craft a novel. Of course there has to be narration, ways to move […]
My new series is coming September 20th, 2018. I’m calling it my “Jilted Brides” trilogy. For the past few years, I’ve been writing linked series, where I have a linking theme that runs through all of the novels, and the common thread resolves at the end of the final book. It’s a fun way for […]

For the past few years, I’ve been writing linked series, where there is a common theme that runs through all the books. The theme resolves at the end of the final novel. Over the years, I would always hear from readers that—when they finished one of my novels—they wished it hadn’t ended. With the new […]
As a writer, I’m always looking for new story ideas. I often find that past experiences can be a great help. Have you ever survived a dangerous situation? How did you do it? When I was first learning to snow ski, I got caught after dark on top of Stowe Mountain in Vermont. It’s a […]
When it comes to Sherlock Holmes pastiches, my thoughts often run contrary to others.
