Hope this year is your best yet!
Hope everyone is having a Happy Thanksgiving weekend!! I think I’m eating way too much.
The more that I live life, the more that I realize that it is not adjusting to the hand that is dealt to you, but a choice of which hand that you want dealt. This is me choosing my hand :)

I’m so excited to share with you Ashley’s adventure! Even though she goes through some harrowing experiences, she’s funnier than I expected. I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I loved writing it.
Traveled to Prague to drop off my son for an internship. Absolutely loved Prague! Had a wonderful time with my son.
Saw so much in a few days
I’m excited to reveal the cover of my next novel. I will be meeting with agents in NYC later this month. If I secure an agent then I most likely will not be able to use this cover, which would disappoint me since I love it, but a publisher will most likely want to create their own. If I don’t secure an agent, then I will be releasing this book next month on Amazon. I’m excited about this one. The first time I have written in first person POV instead of my usual third person limited. I can’t wait for you to read it!
My brother and I took a quick trip to England. We fit a lot in three days to see some of the sites I hadn’t seen on previous visits. Fun times!!
Steve Berry always does a great job making history exciting or interesting. I really liked this book. Steve usually combines subjects that aren’t normally associated and he didn’t disappoint here. If bitcoin and lost World War II gold interest you, and you like thrillers, then I highly recommend this book.
Finally able to cross off a major bucket list item - seeing the Northern Lights - while researching for Pillars of Atlantis that was just released. Have wanted to see the Aurora Borealis all my life. Nothing compares to seeing it in real life.
The day has finally, finally arrived. This book took much longer than most because of all of the research involved. But premise for this book is the reason that I started writing. I loved the idea! Hopefully you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Starting on the last book of the trilogy now.
Took a quick trip. Nothing like touring Havana in an old-fashioned car. Sunsets were amazing!
I’ve always loved JK Rowling’s writing. One of the best in the business. Harry Potter was extremely enjoyable and fun to read with the kids but this Cormoran Strike adult mystery series I have really enjoyed. I always think that I have the mystery figured out and then she throws a curve at the end and yet it still fits. The books are long, a thousand pages or more, but for me that’s all the more to enjoy. Though I enjoyed both The Ink Black Heart and The Running Grave, I probably enjoyed The Ink Black Heart more involving the online world. But The Running Grave is definitely worth the read also, delving into a sinister cult. I highly recommend both if you like mysteries and like to be surprised. I like how the relationship is portrayed between the two main characters also. I can’t wait to see what JK Rowling throws at us next.
Went on a quick trip to NYC with siblings then on to Costa Rica for a week. Seeing Hamilton and Back to the Future: The Musical in NYC, then in Costa Rica trekking through the jungle on ATVs and horseback, then repelling down a waterfall and ziplining over the jungle canopy only a few of the memories made!
Always wanted to visit Petra since Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade :)
Went on a trip to Greece with my sons for a bit of a vacation but also research on my current book. Should be released soon!
Wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year! Glad that year is over. Looking forward to a better year to come!
