I am always so pleased & surprised when my novels are translated for foreign language editions. Today I received three pieces of good news from my publisher. First, a backlist book – Courting Morrow Little – is being translated into Slovakian. Thanks to author friend, Grace Hitchcock, for the lovely photo!

This past spring my publisher, Revell, gave me the delightful but very challenging choice of picking from two different designs. A first for all the novels I’ve written. Usually I have just one cover to admire, not two! There were elements of each cover that I loved as both are very striking and fit the story well. That said, I …
So, I’ve just returned from the Lucy Worsley tour. France has never been on my bucket list but that’s entirely my mistake. If I was younger, I’d become fluent in French & move there! While there, thanks to my hosts, I was blessed to visit the chateau that opens this upcoming Scottish novel releasing next January 2023. It was interesting …

So while writing A Heart Adrift set in both York and Williamsburg, …
So happy to reveal the cover for my 13th historical novel releasing January 4th, 2020, compliments of my publisher, Revell. Thanks also for the novel excerpt & video! E-reader, Audio, & Large Print versions coming soon… It is 1755, and the threat of war with France looms over colonial York, Virginia. Chocolatier Esmée Shaw is fighting her own battle of …
Since you’ve met our heroine in the prior post, time for our privateer! Truth be told, I like my heroes more than my heroines. Maybe that comes from raising boys but I find men wonderfully uncomplicated & straightforward like our hero, Henri Lennox. His name also has a French flair. Our heroine even pronounces it correctly – AWN-ree – which …
At long last ’tis cover reveal week and I thought we’d have a little fun first by way of character introductions. So without further ado, here’s a peek into those pages of A Heart Adrift… Creating a new heroine is always a joy & a challenge.
