From the row of restaurants on Shrewsbury Street to picnicking at Elm Park, from the summertime boaters on Lake Quinsigamond to the St. Patty’s Day Parade, there’s just something about Worcester. She hopes she’s brought this lively, unique town to life for her readers around the wo ...more

Ophelia Sikes Update – May 2025

Hello, everyone!

It’s been a rough year for me with family health issues. Things have finally become quieter, for which I am grateful. I finally have some mental space to be able to work on writing again.

Here are the series I’ve been working on these past months.

Berkshires Nights
This is the latest series in my Worcester Nights storyline. Set at the beautiful Kripalu meditation retreat in western Ma

Quotes by Ophelia Sikes (?)

“His eyes showed my heart the way to his soul, and I found all that mattered lay in him, in his keeping.” -- Vittoria Colonna”

“So many people have fractured lives and siblings they hate. I treasure how close my family is, and I appreciate it every day. I would hate to take it for granted.”
― Ophelia Sikes, Carved Into My Heart

“Some might think that an affair doesn’t hurt the main couple. That it’s somehow separate from the core relationship. But how could it be? We all only have a finite amount of energy. We have a finite amount of waking hours. The time and attention paid to the extra partner is all time and attention not invested in the main relationship. That can’t be gotten back.”
― Ophelia Sikes, Worcester Nights - The Boxed Set
