Eveyln on the left, Mom on the right This is my mom and her older sister taken in front of the house where she grew up. I’m guessing Mom is maybe 16 or 17 here. For those of you who have read my book, Angel Sister, here are the two real people that became my characters, Kate and Evangeline. Mom didn’t …

A new year is a great time to look back. To take stock. To see where you’ve been and if the roads you chose took you to an expected destination or kept you wandering around in confusion for a while. So that’s what I’m doing tonight – looking back at the writing roads I went down. Some good things happened …
One of the most exciting parts of getting a book published is seeing the cover that the publisher’s art department creates to represent your story. I really like the cover for my new book releasing in February. The girl looks like Adriane in the book and I love the city backdrop. The story is set in 1855 Louisville and I …

True, she does have trouble sleeping sometimes, but at least I didn’t put her to sleep. But before she told me that she looked over …

But in spite of the imaginary madness spinning around …
“You can kid the world. But not your sister.” (Charlotte Gray) Did you ever read a quote that carried any more truth? Sisters know us and we know them in a way no one else can. Here I am with my mom and my sisters a year or so ago before Mom’s health went downhill last summer. My mother had …
Because my book, Angel Sister is fresh off the presses and onto bookstore shelves I’ve been doing some book launches, library speeches and internet interviews with bloggers. I’ve got one up right now with Favorite PASTimes, a blog that focuses on historical fiction and the writers behind the stories. They’ve got quite the line up of authors who make regular …
