From Brooklyn's Song

“Okay folks, we’re going to slow things down a bit,” the DJ announced over the microphone, "This one goes out to the lovely Brooklyn.” 

Roberta Flack’s voice soared over the rooftop terrace as she sang “First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.”

 

I hope everyone is having a great start to the new year. It's been so cold in New York, but I'm not letting that keep me inside. My hubby and I are still going on our nature walks searching for deer. I love being outside, breathing in the fresh air and seeing wildlife up-close. I was going to work on some short stories, but I've put that on the backburner. Now, I'm working on a full-length romantic suspense. I hope to have it completed by the fall. Please check back for updates and the cover reveal.

My latest interview

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
I’ve written five books. I love the outdoors, animals and spending time with my family.

What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest novel is Raelee Scattering. Although I’ve written romance novels, mystery is my first love. My mother passed away a few years ago. It was a tough time for me. I’ve learned there’s no set time for grief, and everyone copes differently. Writing is very therapeutic for me. I tapped into a host of emotions in Raelee Scattering. It’s a suspenseful mystery, a love story and a who-done it.

Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I stop reading other novels when I’m working on a book.

What authors, or books have influenced you?
Too many to name. Right now I’m reading everything written by Tami Hoag. I also like Meg Gardiner, Michael Koryta, Gregg Hurwitz, JD Robb and Lou Berney.

What are you working on now?
A few short stories.

What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I like X, Facebook.

Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t write based on trends… For fame or fortune. Write because you have a story to tell, a story to share.

What is the best advice you have ever heard?
"Write the book the way it should be written, then give it to somebody to put in the commas and shit.”
― Elmore Leonard

What are you reading now?
Ashes to Ashes by Tami Hoag.

What’s next for you as a writer?
I’d like to write a novel set in the city where my mom was born.

What is your favorite book of all time?
To Kill a Mockingbird.

Summer solstice 2023

"The summer sun shone round me,

The folded valley lay

In a stream of sun and odour,

That sultry summer day.

The tall trees stood in the sunlight

As still as still could be,

But the deep grass sighed and rustled

And bowed and beckoned me.

The deep grass moved and whispered

And bowed and brushed my face.

It whispered in the sunshine:

"The winter comes apace."

Robert Louis Stevenson

From 2019

I can't wait until I can visit this lovely zoo again. The elephants were truly majestic.

And the great star early droop’d in the western sky in the night,
I mourn’d—and yet shall mourn with ever-returning spring."
