Stay tuned for Series Book and Brunch Event this Fall

We'll set it again early this fall with the release of deadly...as a walk in the park, the second Brentwood Women Mystery. More soon on both the launch party and the new book.
Honoring our Veterans, Here and Gone
David F. Brown and I had a great time honoring Veterans at Memorial Day Reading at Urban Eats! David read from his book of poetry, Ghost of a Person Passing in Front of the Flag, and I read from The Broken Hallelujah.
Thanks Levi and Eric for hosting us!
We are now officially launched!
Great Fun! Thanks All!
Thanks to my wonderful friends, Levi and Eric at Urban Eats and Robb and Linda at Merrill Lynch, we had a great time at the launch of The Broken Hallelujah!

My UH friends, Amy and Johanna, hosted a literary tea for a number of our UH folk.
I got to visit with some friends I hadn't seen in years.
