Hi everyone! So thrilled to share that my debut cozy mystery - Hook, Line and Murder - is now officially on display at The Next Chapter, an indie bookstore in Huntington, NY. It's such a special milestone for me, especially since the book is set in the north shores of Long Island.

She was not as rambunctious as her siblings. Indeed, she was quiet, content in her little space. And she remains so to this day. Happy Birthday my baby girl! And many more to come!!!

Writing about Cannoli, Meg's pet corgi in Hook, Line, and Murder, is pure fun. I only have to look at our Nugget and Whiskey to know Cannoli. She's as every bit as friendly and adorable as our two babies, both of which came into our life on January 2021; Nugget was twelve weeks old and Whiskey was eight weeks old then. One look in their eyes and I was theirs forever. Whiskey weighed almost the same as Nugget and I knew he was going to grow up a big bruiser of a corgi. And he did! Whiskey is...
