A day of #Thanksgiving with memories past tugging my heart
I swear Mom's in the kitchen right now cooking up dinner and my dad is hugging her around the waist, telling her what a fabulous cook she is... and asking, when's dinner?
TY to my readers!

I’m excited my Paris WW2 novel ‘Sisters At War’ is on promotion this Nov at Kobo Audiobooks #Historicalfiction UK, ANZ, US, IE & Canada

The story is a sensitive one: violence against women in wartime told through the eyes of the Beaufort Sisters

Mom always said I was her little 'princess'
she made me the most beautiful princess costume!

So for #NationalPrincessDay here I am in this blue taffeta princess ensemble, tiara and all. I shall treasure this memory always...

Going to the circus is a family affair, n’est-ce pas?

Check out this fun video I made with my old home movies…

Got the idea from my new release #TheStolenChildrenofWar Paris 1943

What is your favorite #Halloween costume from your childhood!

Mine is a fairy princess.

My mom made my costume on her old black Singer sewing machine. I don't have the costume, but I still have her sewing machine.

part 2 of 2

Where books were my friends
And liked me for who I am
Never judging me, but giving me comfort and joy
More than any digital toy
To this day I think of the library as my best friend
A loving relationship that will never end!

When I had pigtails and glasses
I was indeed one of those lasses

Who called her local library home
No matter how far I did roam

I’d sneak into the corner, a book in my hand
Reading and reading as quiet as a lamb...

It’s #whyiwriteday
A day to journal, write a poem, a letter (yes, on paper with a pen) It’s food for the soul and good for the heart
And there’s no Delete button

'The Stolen Children of War' is now on #NetGalley
It is 1943 in Nazi-occupied Paris & nobody is safe... except people who’ve always existed outside the law...
In the circus
Or is no one safe from the Gestapo?

I am so thrilled with this fabulous cover for ‘The Stolen Children of War’ It’s so circus-y!
That’s Lia, my heroine A trapeze artist and trick rider since she was a kid
