Dear Reader, The holiday season has taken me over entirely today. Everything else is pretty much on hold as I make marmalade for holiday gifts. The citrus fruits were all shaved yesterday afternoon, while I listened to the podcast at thecreativepenn.com. Do check it out, if you have not already. A Read more…
Dear Reader, I confess I don’t listen to much radio these days. The World Wide Web pulls me in other directions, mostly. But just this morning I tuned in to WBAI. I wondered what sort of programming they are airing these days (and whether promoting You’re Sure to Fall in Love might Read more…
Dear Reader, The wait is nearly over! On Friday, December 1, YOU’RE SURE TO FALL IN LOVE will be live pretty much all over the world in ebook, paperback, and hardcover, too. All the hard work writing, formatting, and publishing feels totally worth it. If you would like to make a purchase Read more…

Inevitably, because we are about the same age, and went through similar journeys around the draft. His situation was more perilous than mine, because his birthdate was chosen #15 in the Read more…
Dear Reader, This week has been particularly creative, and I’m delighted to report that the second volume of my Love Trilogy, LOVE AND THE EPIDEMIC, is taking shape. Just as when I was writing YOU’RE SURE TO FALL IN LOVE, characters show up in my head and start talking to me. And Read more…
