My fourth novel, Forever Music, is set to be released on May 19th. Here’s the cover by Diane Cretsinger Turpin. It’s beautiful, don’t you think? It’s reminiscent of the cover of Irish Encounter, my first novel. I’m revealing the book trailer […]
A Group of Support
When I started down the road to becoming an author, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect. Writing seemed a job that required a lot of alone-time, not something I’m good at, as I’ve learned since the COVID-19 pandemic started. However, the further into this career I traveled, the more I discovered it’s not one […]
A Time Like This

A Chocolate and Roses Kind of Day?
