2023 Fogarty Literary Award: The Ripple Effect

I'm thrilled that my manuscript The Skeleton House has won the 2023 Forgarty Literary Award and will be published by Fremantle Press sometime in 2024 (TBC).

Decade of Dreams™

Ha. HA. Back in January I wrote something that went like this: "Seven days into the new year and new decade, we're on the brink of WWIII, half of the southern hemisphere is ablaze, and I think I'm coming down with a cold. Still, nothing can dampen my spirits: folks, like it or not, this … Continue reading Decade of Dreams™

We brought Remus home as a fuzzy, clumsy, eight week-old puppy back in 2007. It was the summer before my senior year in high school.
