Hello from Writer's Jail: Inspiration Everywhere

 I'm often asked about inspiration. What is the inspiration for my characters, plots, and settings? One thing that definitely inspires me? Real estate! I often walk in New London, Connecticut, which is chock-full of intriguing architecture and homes. This one just might end up in a future book.

Cozy Mystery + Ice Cream? Yes, please!

The wonderful booksellers at Wesleyan RJ Julia in Middletown, CT have invited me to chat about my latest Ice Cream Shop Mystery, FATAL FUDGE SWIRL, on Thursday, August 3, at 6 PM. That's exciting enough, but they've also invited the creative geniuses at Honeycone Cream Company to craft a specialty sundae to go with the book! Here's a link for more information. See you there, and bring your appetite!

Meeting a Connecticut Gem at WTNH Channel 8 TV

Last week I was invited to talk about my books with Ann Nyberg of WTNH in Connecticut. Such a wonderfully welcoming person! It was a pleasure to meet her and the whole news team that I've been watching for years. The interview will be broadcast Tuesday, February 21, 2023 and then will be posted on the WTNH Nyberg webpage.

 I felt right at home until the robotic cameras zoomed in!
