Venice in the Spring!
I am excited to tell you about my new book, THE VENICE SKETCHBOOK, that comes out on April 13
It’s about two women, bound by blood and parallel stories-and Venice. In 1928 Juliet is a young girl, abroad for the first time. In 1939 she is back in Venice for a life of forbidden love and great danger and in 2001 as she lies dying with her great-niece Caroline at her side, she presses a box into Caroline’s hands. It contains 3 keys and a sketchbook of Venice
What will those keys unlock?
It was a joy to return to Venice in my head during the pandemic when we couldn’t travel because it’s a place I’ve loved all my life, starting as a child when my parents rented a villa nearby and let my brother and me explore alone. Every time I visit it takes my breath away. I have tried to bring it to life in this book so that you can enjoy it is much as I do
Stay safe. The light is at the end of the tunnel

I've pre-ordered the book and can hardly wait to read it.
I also pre-ordered. I’m counting the days!
So looking forward to it. Thanks for your continued writing.
Perfect! I love how you included some of your childhood memories and why you love Venice. That is really special for us readers! I love Venice too!
Little late seeing this post. I absolutely loved The Venice Sketchbook.
I loved the Venice Sketchbook. It's one of my favorite books that you have written. I also loved the Tuscan Child which was the first book I read that you wrote. I'm hooked on your writing and have read everything I could find written by you. I hope you have something new coming out soon! I love anything that takes place during WWII and anything that takes place in Italy. Thank you so much!
