I Hope Autumn Is Treating You Well So Far

One of my favorite lines in The Great Gatsby is spoken by Nick's short-term girlfriend, the professional golfer Jordan Baker. She tells him, “Life starts all over again when it gets crisp in the fall.” Well, it's hard to think of life starting all over again this fall, isn't it? [...]

Wishing You a Happy Autumn!

We've had a really warm, summery summer in the northeast, but for the last few weeks there's been such a big hint of fall. The days are shorter, of course, the tree leaves are tipped with yellow, and the other night a bear took down our bird feeder and ate all the seed, perhaps as early prep for hibernation. Just glad she didn't show up the night I was wandering around outside with my binoculars looking at Jupiter, Mars, and Venus. [...]

I Hope You're Finding Moments to Savor Here and There.

Summer is, hands down, my favorite time, but it's been really hard to fully embrace the season this year, hasn't it? There's just so much chaos, confusion, and sadness because of the pandemic. I so hope you're in good health, that you're able to see at least a few friends and family members, and that you've found special ways to stay as centered as you possibly can. [...]

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

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. [...]

It's so heartbreaking to hear what everyone is going through right now because of COVID-19, and I just hope you're in good health and not overly stressed. I've been in touch with many of you via Facebook, and I know you're keeping busy reading, watching lots of Netflix, cooking, gardening, [...]

I hope you're having a good end of winter. It's a pretty scary time, isn't it, with the coronavirus impacting so many people around the world?  This is also a big transition time for me. I'll be leaving Uruguay, where my husband and I live in the winter, and headed [...]

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 [...]

Here's to New Beginnings!

I hope your new year is off to a fabulous start. As you may have heard me mention (I hope not ad nauseam), I live in Uruguay in the winter, and I'm here now, working on my next psychological thriller. [...]

Yay, this is the month I get to unveil the cover for my next standalone psychological thriller, HAVE YOU SEEN ME?, and I hope you find it as compelling as I do. I loved working on this book. It's got what I think is a killer twist and the writing [...]
