In 2003, I was awarded Best Screenplay at the Lake Arrowhead Film Festival. That was an honor, but what made it so much more wonderful was the chance to sit with June Lockhart. She told me how important writers were! Thank you, June! You were an inspiration!

I love my Jane Goodall Lego set! She remains a role model for everyone who believes in science, research, and adventure, and I can’t think of anyone more deserving of a Lego tribute. May her memory and he life’s work continue to inspire others. RIP Jane Goodall! #JaneGoodall #janegoodallinstitute

So... yes, I'm working on the new book. Hooray! (That's the good news).

The bad news is that I've had German and Irish accents in my head for months like a crazy, haunted person.

I promise all the same excitement and adventure will still be there, no matter where you find the book!

I saw this on a writer's group page and it made me laugh. Figured I'd share it in case it makes you laugh, too!

Shakespeare's, "The Tempest," Act 2, Scene 1: “What's past is prologue”

Been thinking a lot lately about how we need to learn from our past...

It's one reason I write historical fiction!

If that Amazon gift card is burning a hole in your pocket, why not try some award-winning historical fiction?

Yep, true. Makes me wonder if there's some database out there tracking my inquiries about murder, poison, secret codes, and now WWII German submarines. Wonder what the algorithm thinks of me!

NO OXFORD COMMA:
My favorite sandwiches are egg salad, peanut butter and tuna.

In short, if you like to eat peanut butter with your tuna, leave out the comma. Or, if you're not a psychopath, use the comma.
