Nay, it never gets old! Releasing a novel remains a unique experience even for someone who’s been writing stories since age 7. I’m always felt so at home with my writing & it’s always been a joy, a bit like the best friend I never had. Releasing it for public consumption has been a learning curve as it does feel a little like having your diary read! I’m still a bit amazed but very grateful for readers who enjoy my imaginings. Truly a wondrous thought that a book is just the alphabet rearranged over & over again in endless ways!

The Rose & the Thistle is one of my favorite novels that I’ve written. It may have required the most research. I truly hated writing THE END. But now it’s out there, filling reading minds &, I hope, hearts.

Thank you!

A few months ago the words “armchair traveler” came to mind. Having had several trips cancelled due to the pandemic, I found the thought intriguing so just sat on it for awhile. The only traveling I’d done last year was through my books! Truly, every story is an adventure that takes you somewhere. Or should! In my case, the Kentucky and Virginia frontiers, Scotland, Pennsylvania, etc.

So I asked a travel-loving friend, the irrepressible Pepper Basham, to join me in launching a private group called The Armchair Traveler. Fun to think what’s born from a tiny seed of an idea or just a few words. And a few cancelled trips!

So we’ve just launched and would love for you to join us if you can! We don’t just talk books but traveling, tea, ancestry, and more! It’s inspiring, fun, & uplifting! Proving armchair travel is truly a wonderful adventure!
