It might be named for her husband’s family who owned over 30,000 acres of land in this tiny corner of NY, but this exit always makes me smile and tip my figurative hat to Daisy who, in my humble opinion, deserves to have a few things named after her. #daisyharriman #herstory #authorlife #booksky

Nine years ago today I made the pivot to historical fiction when my agent asked one simple question; 'so what do you really want to write about?' I still get goosebumps seeing that gorgeous cover and my name on the spine. #ThrowbackVibes #historicalfiction #goodmemories #authorlife #booksky

Prepping for vacation means a trip to the local library to load up the beach bag. Thanks to everyone who offered up suggestions, but I think I might have overdone it. #amreading #booksky #authorlife #librarylove #booknerdproblems #books

I’m trying desperately to get halfway through my draft before I leave for a much needed vacation and have enlisted some help. Olive is extremely unhappy that I’ve included a yellow lab in the story, but no cat.

This #MemorialDay, I’m honoring Captain Robert Losey who was killed while assisting Daisy Harriman during the German invasion. He is considered the first official American death of WWII. I based the character of Lt Bayard in THE LAST LIGHT OVER OSLO on Captain Losey

📚 A huge Indie Bookstore Day shout out to my fabulous local bookseller The Bookplate. It has hidden nooks and crannies to get lost in, comfy chairs for browsing, wonderful staff who greet their customers by name, and a bookstore cat…because there has to be a bookstore cat. #indiebookstoreday #books

I managed three fabulous reads in February that took me from colonial-era Maine to modern day Venice and back to Georgian England.

Do any of my fellow romance readers remember Patricia Veryan? I binged her Georgian and Regency romances back in high school and college. THE DEDICATED VILLAIN was my absolute fave! I’m feeling a browse of used books on-line is very much in order today.

With one day between for laundry and repacking, I've gone from the ocean to VA's Shenandoah Valley where I'm reconnecting with wonderful writing friends and looking to kickstart my creative mojo. And yes, there will be wine.
