Happy Holidays

Here's wishing my encouragers, my supporters, and my readers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy Chanukah!

What a year it has been!

Soon, I will be talking about everything I want to accomplish in the new year, but for now, there is a crackling fire in the fireplace, carols playing in the background, a beautiful tree waiting to be lit, and gifts to give to make my loved ones smile.

There will be turkey to eat, cheesecake with raspberry sauce to enjoy, chocolates, and party crackers, and stockings to open. And don't forget the stories and memories of Christmases past with loved ones we have lost over the years.

We wait all year for this magical day. Enjoy it from beginning to end, and bask in its magic and beauty.

One More Chance

Many thanks to everyone who purchased novels from me this past weekend at the Buffalo Historical Society Makers Market. It's always so much fun talking with readers who want the perfect read.

I even met a gentleman (I feel horrible that I did not get your name), whose grandfather was the gardener of Hillside, the estate that provided the inspiration for Relic. He told me about his fond memories of running around the property and how beautiful it was! He purchased a book in memory of his grandfather, Donald McLellan. These kinds of connections only happen when books are sold in person, and it's why I do shows like this!

Next stop: The Williamsville PTSA Holiday Craft Show at Heim Middle and Elementary Schools. The show is from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, December 7th and from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday December 8th. There is an entrance fee for this show: $3 per person; $1 for children aged 11 to 17; and free for children 10 and under. Proceeds from the show will provide scholarships for students from the three high schools in Williamsville, NY.

I will be located in the hallway of Heim Elementary School. See you there!
