Happy Holiday’s everyone! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving. I’ve been doing many book events and love traveling around and talking to everyone. I just came back from the Vineyard after a signing at the amazing Martha’s Vineyard Made, a small store in Vineyard Haven that carries my book and...
Hey everyone. I hope you’re all doing well. It’s just past the two-month mark since my novel, The Silence in the Sound’s release, and as I’ve said before, it’s quite a ride. Life is filled with so many challenges, and I’ve learned over time that there is no rhyme or reason often, it’s just life,...
This month has been so filled with all kinds of good stuff. The Silence in the Sound won the NYC Big Book Award in women’s fiction. I never have the typical response of excitement and joy that most “normal” people, I think, would have. I feel nauseous and almost have a panic attack, then wonder...
Launching a book is an utter whirlwind.

Hey guys! I'm on the Vineyard, the setting of my book for the week and as usual it's the best time although this trip is a bit different and not so much a vacation but I couldn't ask for more because my book's been released. This moment is such a full circle event I can't even begin to describe....
I’ve done all that they said. I’ve researched, emailed, advertised, promoted, blogged… entered contests, mailed book after book, begged, borrowed, and stole—okay, now I’m going too far. Still, I have done everything and anything humanly possible to promote my book, The Silence in the Sound. I’ve...
This week I'm giving you another peek at The Silence in the Sound... Chapter five... Welcome to Revere, Massachusetts, where I'm from. A bit of a hardscrabble place just outside Boston, at least it used to be. And that's where we are going; back in time to 1992 for a visit. So drape yourself in...
Hey Guys, I’m sure every writer would agree that writing in any form can sometimes be lonely and isolating. While many of us enjoy solitude, it can often be too much. Of late, I’ve become excellent friends with a hornet that made a little nest in my bathroom window, and getting my iced coffee...
Hey guys. I have entered new territory on my publishing journey; the reviews are coming in. While I've had, like most authors, my book critiqued by what feels like a million agents, publishers, beta readers, critique partners, and a few chosen friends & family, now the public is getting chance...
