Flowers, chocolates, a candlelit dinner, curled up with your favorite book…
There are ways to celebrate and enjoy Valentine’s Day whether on your own or with someone!
I’ve posted these photos in the past but can’t go wrong with roses. I took these shots on a past trip to Ireland, a setting for a number of my novels, particularly in the Sharpe & Donovan series. I love the water drops on the red roses. Enjoy!

I did a Q&A with RT Book Reviews shortly before it ended publication a few yeas ago after a long, stellar run. Here it is, slightly updated:
What was the first book you read that meant something to you?
The Moonspinners by Mary Stewart. I happened on it in the library as a kid, and when I read it, I knew I wanted to be a writer.
What book do you wish you could live in?
I just finished A Country Diary: The Year in Kerry by Patrick O’Sullivan and enjoyed “living in” his descriptions of Irish scenery.
What trope most mirrors your life?
“It seemed like a good idea at the time.” Ah, yes…
If we pulled up next to you … Read More

Sunday is Mother’s Day. We’ll be visiting my mother. At 84, she’s hanging in there, and every day with her is a gift. She grew up in a tiny town in the Florida Panhandle and married a Dutch sailor, my father. Long story short, they packed up the car with my brother and sister, then toddlers, and moved to New England just before I was born. Four more kids ensued, and while my father died in 1990, my mother continues to live on our family homestead on the western edge of the Quabbin Reservoir in rural Massachusetts. In addition to the seven of us, she has 13 grandchildren and 12 great-… Read More

As much as I love a good New England winter, I’m ready for spring after a bad fall on a popular local sledding hill. I got knocked off my feet and landed on my left shoulder. Ouch! On the mend, though (if not as fast as I’d like!). I’m definitely ready for March turning into a lamb.
It’ll be spring when Stone Bridges hits stores on March 26. I can’t wait! If you’re planning on reading it, I’d love for you to do me a favor and pre-order a copy here or with your local bookseller. Pre-orders are a big boost for any of our favorite writers.

Like so many book lovers, I enjoy giving books as Christmas presents. Paperbacks novels make great stocking stuffers, so I’m always on the lookout for the latest by a favorite author, but I also love to wrap a special gift book that a friend, colleague or loved one might not buy for themselves…but would love to own. Here are three I own on Irish country houses, life tips from an Irish gentleman and the iconic Ring of Kerry. I’ve included Amazon links but you can order them from your favorite bookstore.
The Irish Country House
On our many visits to Ireland, we’ve stayed in e… Read More
