Much as I love books — and reading is my very favorite pastime — I’m also a hopeless TV and movie buff. I can’t get enough of whatever the latest compelling television series might be or the newest film releases to hit the DVD racks. For years, I’ve closely followed the leads from all the …
Since Thanksgiving in the States is just one week away, I’ve been thinking a lot about “Gratitude” this month…as do many of us during this time of year. The past few weeks have brought several changes to our family — some bittersweet (my husband’s father recently passed away, which was sad for us, although he’d had a …
I’m celebrating the joys of autumn this week as well as a new audiobook release! DOUBLE DIPPING just came out in audio from Post Hypnotic Press (and it’ll soon be coming to Audible, too).

I have a different kind of book release out this week—my first nonfiction essay collection—and I’m so excited to get to share a little …

I’m not even a drop Irish but, back in 1995, I had the pleasure of visiting about a dozen beautiful cities in Ireland, and I adored the experience. Additionally, I happened to marry a man who has a thread of Irish heritage, a love of Celtic relics, and an addiction to corned beef, so we …
