Second Chances

Happy New Year, friends! I’m sitting here in my jammies, recovering from the first full week of the new year. Back to a normal work week, back to school drop-offs and pick-ups, back to swim lessons and playdates, back to running, back to not eating cookies for three meals a day, back to writing…. I’m […]

Hey, thanks.

I am a writer always, but I’m only succeeding as an author if I’m being read, and this little space counts. You are all the best, and here’s a little slideshow to prove it!

Sterling was kneeling on a camp pad, his telescope forgotten, laughing at her as she emerged from the woods. “What are you doing here?” She knew she was whining, but the moment […]

Star of Wonder, Star of Night: Part Twelve

Continued from Part Nine, or you can start from the beginning. The rain was pissing him off.

The Geminids… […]

Star of Wonder, Star of Night: Part Nine

Continued from Part Eight, or you can start from the beginning. Ivy pulled up the plush blanket Phlox had brought her as a housewarming gift, tucking it under her chin, despite the fire that crackled away in the belly of the cast iron wood stove. Kate Winslet was just about to find out that Rufus […]

Star of Wonder, Star of Night: Part Eight

Continued from Part Seven, or you can start from the beginning. Sterling fought the urge to put her kettle on for her. The disconnect between her presence and his own history in the cabin pressed on him. “I’m not good at keeping things to myself, so I’ll just tell you: I knew Jack a long […]

Star of Wonder, Star of Night: Part Seven

Continued from Part Six, or you can start from the beginning. A gentle tapping on the barn door’s frame pulled Ivy’s attention away from Iphi’s hooves. She was least docile of the quartet when it came to pedicures. “Last stall on the right,” she called. Phlox, she imagined, back from her spa trip to Stowe […]
