The view from my window. That’s a wrap for this year’s genesis retreat with many thanks to our amazing 2025 cohort! I think I’ll take a week off before I jump back in the saddle to plan genesis 2026.

I have tins—old coffee cans, enamelware cups, etc., that I have them sorted into by color. These are stored in an IKEA wall rack with hanging containers. They look empty right now because I have a bunch out for a project.

When Bo Delafort finds treasure on the muddy banks of the River Thames, her life turns upside down. I thoroughly enjoyed this & recommend for readers in search of a good mystery!
Look for this middle grade magical historical adventure in June.
