Official Birth Announcement

I’m so excited about my new site!  So consider this your official birth announcement. All ten fingers and ten toes accounted for, and mother and baby doing just fine, thank you very much.  Kudos to my excellent “midwife,” Deborah, who is better known as the Web “genie.”  I think you’ll find it easier to navigate, and in short order there will be (coming to a theatre near you soon!) material you can download, for a small fee, onto a reading device, such as Kindle.  In fact, for those of you who’ve written to me through the years asking (sometimes demanding!) more on those nice folks in Carson Springs (the trilogy goes as follows: STRANGER IN PARADISE, TASTE OF HONEY, and WISH COME TRUE) you will soon be able to download onto your Kindle, or whatever, a Carson Springs prequel.  No, not a sequel…that would require a whole new book…but a tasty tidbit nonetheless.   I’ll let you know when it’s on the site.

In the meantime, I’m happy to report my time in Florida was most productive, and I now have a mostly finished manuscript for THE REPLACEMENT WIFE.  Did I mention that manuscripts are never really finished, at least not in the minds of most writers?  I will die clutching a red pencil, I’m convinced.   For that reason I can’t read a book of mine after it’s been published, because I positively itch to make additional changes.  So thanks to y’all who’ve written to me to point out printing errors; without you I would be unaware of said errors.  Hey, it takes a village, right…?

Speaking of Florida, I do miss the warm weather.  It never got warm enough for me to hit the pool, though I did dunk my toe in from time to time before ultimately wimping out.   On the plus side, coming home to New York means I am reunited with my adorable and extremely patient husband, Sandy.  He managed just fine in my absence, with the help of local eateries that deliver takeout, but still…He even did the laundry.  I’m so proud of him.  Yesterday, his reward was a batch of homemade chocolate biscotti.  Did I mention I’ve become addicted to biscotti lately?  I made a batch recently and it was so good, I had to show extreme self-restraint not to go beyond my nightly two-with-a-cup-of-tea limit.  Sandy, on the other hand, shows no such restraint.  Luckily for him, he’s got a guy’s metabolism, so he can handle it without packing on the pounds.

Please keep your comments coming!  Again, I apologize in advance if I can’t answer each one individually, but I promise they are read and greatly enjoyed.  I receive daily inspiration from your kind words.
