I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoy your stories. I read The Baker's Secret upon recommendation from another book lover and when I finished it, I immediately went to the bookstore looking for your other novels. You are amongst the best storytellers today. Reading The Hummingbird now. What can we look forward to with your stories?
Stephen P. Kiernan
Thank you for your kind words. My thanks, too, to the book lover who put me in your path.
I hope you enjoy The Hummingbird -- and if that leaves you hungry for more, you might try The Curiosity.
At the moment I'm roughly a third of the way along in a new novel, which is going slowly because it requires a ton of research. After the Pacific Theater of World War II (in The Hummingbird) and the European Theater (in The Baker's Secret), I found myself compelled to write a story about the home front during that time. This new book follows a mathematician who considers himself a pacifist (a rarity in 1943) yet he winds up working for the Manhattan Project. The story is told by his wife, who helps him after the war to find a fulfilling life that adds enormously to the world's peace.
"The Late Great Charlie Fisk" is based on a true story. My hope is to have it in bookstores in late 2019 or early 2020. Fingers Xd.
Thanks for your question, and especially for reading my books.

My book club "The LitLadies" will be discussing The Hummingbird. I am hosting, LOVED the book, and wondered how you became so interested in Hospice, Palliative Care & Advanced directives? Our book club has been together for about 19 years now and we are all at the age that this is a topic of discussion. Your descriptions of Professor Rarclay Reed's last days and Deborah's care of him was so well done!
