The Drug Epidemic

Have you ever known anyone who has become involved in the sordid world of drugs? We all know that we are in the midst of an epidemic of opiate abuse. But have you ever known anyone personally? I have and that's why I wrote "Envelopes of Hope." Amanda's story, and that of her family, is similar to what many people go through. While many parents and other family members become weary of the person with the problem, some don't give up hope that they will turn their life around. This novelette is meant to inspire people and give them hope that there is ----hope. It is geared to any problem, not just drugs. So, if you are experiencing or have experienced a family member or friend who has gone through any type of difficulty, you will be inspired by Amanda's story not to give up hope. And share it with those who may be struggling with a problem.
The giveaway for "Envelopes of Hope" ends in a few weeks. It is also available on Amazon in e-book and paperback formats.

Halloween Memories

With Halloween a few hours away, I just want to share how Halloween used to be. We didn't have store bought costumes that tore as soon as we put them on. My most memorable costume was my mother's wedding gown (I was 10) and she didn't mind that I wore it throughout the rain that fell in Burlington, Ontario that Halloween. My brother was either a hobo or a pirate--all hand made. Makeup was done by Mom and Dad. We didn't have to take our candy through an x-ray machine because our neighbors could be trusted. Who on earth would have wanted to hurt a child? And there was the Halloween when my siblings and I all had the flu. It was in the days before plastic grocery bags; my Dad came home with the brown paper bags (one for each of us) filled with all kinds of Halloween treats.

Do you have any special memories to share? I'd love to hear them.

Back to Vermont

I'm on my way to Vermont to spend a few days where my idea for "When Shadows Linger" was created. Having grown up in Wisconsin, my favorite seasons have always been fall and winter. So, you're wondering, how'd she end up in Florida 46 years ago? I won't bore you with the details--unless someone asks. 😉Anyway, I fell in love with it four years ago and it became the setting for my first book. The descriptions are so vivid that you will feel as though you are walking down Main Street with the characters. I promise that you will fall in love with Middlebury just as I did, And with Maggie Sinclair as she seeks happiness.
