What's New?
The third (stand-alone) novel in The Vintner's Daughter Series, THE VINTNER'S LEGACY, debuted as a #1 Amazon international bestseller in historical/military fiction! The story begins as four interrelated families move through the turmoil of the First World War, the deadly influenza epidemic and a looming American prohibition. More details. It has been translated into French and German, and I just signed a deal with my Dutch publisher, Uitgeverij Mozaïek, to publish the entire Vintner's Daughter Series!
Also, I am currently reading Always November, written by my friends Arik Housley and Holly Payne about Arik's experience of grief and growth following the loss of his 18-year-old daughter Alaina in a mass shooting at the Borderline Bar and Grill in Thousand Oaks, CA in 2018. The unimaginable and agonizing loss is matched with the transformative grace that moves through the memoir's compelling narrative. I've only read a few chapters and I am forever changed.
My Favorite Binge-worthy Entertainment
Lately I have been watching the wholesome and engaging All Creatures Great and Small, my favorite political thriller, The Diplomat (so pumped for Season 4!), and revisiting my favorite episodes of Tucci in Italy and Europe from Above! I'm also looking forward to watching the Peaky Blinders movie!
