Happy Fourth of July!
I hope you’re having as good a Fourth of July weekend as we are. We started out at the Roundabout Gallery on Friday night, where John was a featured artist with some of his Red, White and Blue work. Even though all the photos look very different because of the way John treated them, all the close-ups were…
Read MoreFeels Like a Miracle
Thursday was a very good day. First of all, there was a bunch of good news coming out of the United Kingdom about The Midwife’s Confession, as the great TV ad aired for the first time and the book officially hit the stores. On the UK Amazon Kindle list, it broke into the top ten (and it’s…
Read MoreCheck Out the TV Ad for The Midwife's Confession
My publisher in the United Kingdom is pretty amazing. Here’s the TV ad they created, which will start running in the UK on June 23rd, the same day The Midwife’s Confession should show up in the grocery stores there. I just love it! The book cover proclaims a money back guarantee to readers in the UK and…
Read MoreI'm Taking an Actual Vacation!
Yes, I’m spending five blissful days in San Jose, visiting my stepdaughter and her husband and daughter. I’m not doing any work while I’m here!

Now, I can! The Midwife’s Confession is available (or will be soon) in the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand, and (this…
Read MoreFrom Writers Block to Blended Families–an Interview with Me
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of being interviewed on Topics Designs TV, a local internet station for an area that includes Topsail Island, where I’m staying this week. It was so nice to do an interview where I didn’t feel as though I had to cram everything in to a two minute spot! I thought Ashton Hasty came…
Read MoreHome for Thirty Hours Before Taking off Again
Home from New Jersey and New York! Well, for about thirty hours, anyway, before we take off for the beach. I thought I’d share some pictures from the week with you. I started out at a speaking engagement in Lakewood, New Jersey. The audience was so fabulous and responsive and I had a great time.…
Read MoreHappy Birthday, Sam!
A couple of weeks ago, I received an email from Oliver in England. He wanted to surprise his girlfriend, Sam, with a signed book from me and asked if he could buy one from me. I can’t sell my own books (nor do I have many author’s copies), but I was so touched by his…
Read MoreJoin Me at the Online Booksigning!
Yes, I’m doing it again! After signing what felt like a trillion bookplates last year, I promised myself I’d never do another online signing, but in retrospect, it was so worth it. So if you can’t make it to one of my in-person events, come over to the online signing and fill out the form.…
