My idea of a perfect day always includes a book, or three, including one with a happy ending. I write Catholic historical romance novels and novellas set in pioneer Florida, and non-romance short stories that explore the importance of community, connection and human dignity.

I was born and raised in New York City, but found a small-town haven in Florida many years ago. I was a homebody even before the pandemic.

I enjoyed this 2018 book even though - as other reviewers have noticed- it's heavily based on Sheilah Graham's memoirs. The story flowed, the characters are rounded, Hollywood is appropriately garish and I liked the fictional twist at the end. I also ...more
