Once Again, I Want to Start by Talking about YOU.

I so hope you're weathering the pandemic as best as you can, and finding ways to safely re-open your personal world a little bit. It's such a tough time, isn't it? My husband Brad proposed 34 years ago in France. [...]

Let's start with YOU.

It's hard to believe, isn't it, that we are still all in the grip of this terrible pandemic? I feel so heartsick about what million and millions of people are going through. I just hope you are well and coping okay. [...]

I'm still currently in Uruguay, eating pizza some nights in charming rustic spots, but also writing my next book, I swear! My Latest Book News! The first review—from Kirkus—is now in for my upcoming suspense novel HAVE YOU SEEN ME? and I'm thrilled to share it with you. Hey, I [...]

I hope winter is treating you well. I'm still in Uruguay, where it's just turning to fall. Recently my husband and I took a great trip three-and-a-half hours north from the beach town we live in and stayed at a small, wonderful ranch called Estancia Los Plantanos. Though we were [...]
