My goal is to have it completed, edited, and printed by Spring 2016 – only a few months away. Without revealing too much, I can say that the sequel to “House Key” will include more daring fox hunts, an art heist, and lots of intrigue in a family tree of tangled branches.

Then, I can’t wait to get to my studio to start writing. The biggest challenge I face, however, is dealing with distractions. Distractions are inevitable, so being disciplined about minimizing interruptions is an acquired skill that ultimately becomes habit.(less)

Book Review: Chasing Beauty: The Life of Isabella Stewart Gardner

Chasing Beauty: The Life of Isabella Stewart Gardner by Natalie Dykstra

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


It was during a thoughtful and memorable first date with a boy who wanted to impress me that I fell in love visiting the Isabella Stewart Garner Museum for the first time in the late 80s—before the heist. Decades later, I love it still, with its many treasures that invite new discoveries with each visit.
