Wintertime brought chilly weather, sleet, and snow to the Northeast. Huddling under a plaid throw blanket, sipping hot cider or cocoa, and reading made it less bleak. I listen to my favorite classical music station, WQXR, Sirius radio, or my collection of classic rock and pop songs from my CD library.

I’ve returned to my passion of writing and republished my two young adult novels featuring a ghost hunter at the Jersey Shore in A Kiss Out of Time and its sequel A Dance Out of Time, and a case of past lives returning to solve the crime of smuggling in Mexico in my adult paranormal Sacred Fires.

As the saying goes, there’s no time like the present to get things done. Being fully-retired helps too. After many years in education, I’m fortunate that I can now write more or less full-time. In the works are two more novels and a memoir. That should keep me busy into Spring!
