2020!

I haven’t blogged for a long time, but I have been busy.

I had a new publicity photo taken,  And yes, it is airbrushed!

Girls of summer by Nancy Thayer

I worked with my brilliant editor and the copy editor on my new book, out May 26th!

I had pneumonia in January and spent some time in bed with my cat.

I watched the Super Bowl and became obsessed with Patrick Mahomes.   I am from Kansas City, and my sister still lives there. Besides, really?

I walked down to the harbor on cold and clear days.

I read a lot of books.  The Secrets We Kept is about Boris Pasternak’s mistress, who was the inspiration for Lara in Dr. Zhivago. It’s beautifully written and it’s frightening to read about the government imprisoning writers and their loved ones.

After that, I read a cozy mystery by one of my fav cozy mystery writers. I’ll be mentioning other books I’ve read on my Facebook posts.

I’ve been writing my 2021 summer novel, and I’ve been promising myself

I’ll tidy my study!

I’ll be posting more on Facebook and Instagram and putting up a fresh blog every week.
