I write the women’s fiction stories I love to read, both contemporary and historic tales of women and the rich lives they lead along their journeys of self-discovery. A lifetime admirer and longtime resident of Italy, I’m often guilty of sneaking the bel paese into my stories.

Proud member of the Women's Fiction Writers Association (WFWA), The Historical Novel Society and The History Quill.

So glad to see you're a fellow women's fiction/historical author - aren't they fun genres? I love the Balkans, and especially Bulgaria - so much interesting history, achitecture, and great food. It's a great question. I've been in Italy for (gulp!) twenty-five years now, but even after all that time, its beauty and history still surprise me. I travel a lot, but still have so many places I need to see. Even in Rome, there's always one more church to discover, one minor museum I have't yet seen or a newly discovered Ancient Roman site I need to visit. The good news is - endless inspiration for future works! Happy writing - and traveling - to you, too!(less)

But perhaps my favorites were: The Guest List (Lucy Foley), What the Lady Wants (Renee Rosen), The Switch (Beth O'Leary), and The Rose Code (Kate Quinn). And on the non-fiction side, loved Jason Riley's Maverick: A Biography of Thomas Sowell.(less)

"I did not expect much from this one, but it caught me in its charms and I was HOOKED! Basically a retelling of sorts of the 1954 film "Three Coins in the Fountain" - which plays a big role in the plot of the book, natch - it grabbed me and never let " Read more of this review »

Bohumil Hrabal
“I was always lucky in my bad luck.”
Bohumil Hrabal I Served The King of England

Franz Kafka
“I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound or stab us. If the book we're reading doesn't wake us up with a blow to the head, what are we reading for? So that it will make us happy, as you write? Good Lord, we would be happy precisely if we had no books, and the kind of books that make us happy are the kind we could write ourselves if we had to. But we need books that affect us like a disaster, that grieve us deeply, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide. A book must be the axe for the frozen sea within us. That is my belief.”
Franz Kafka

Truman Capote
“Venice is like eating an entire box of chocolate liquers at one go.”
Truman Capote

Milan Kundera
“Every human life has many aspects. The past of each one of us can be just as easily arranged into the biography of a beloved statesman as into that of a criminal.”
Milan Kundera Laughable Loves

“You lose your immortality when you lose your memory.”
