It’s been an exciting and whirlwind time…launching What Remains of Love this summer,
promoting the book at libraries and bookstores and online, and attending the Bouchercon
mystery conference in Minneapolis.

Though the convention allowed me to talk about my last Dodie O’Dell mystery, Killing Time, I was also able to pitch What Remains… to attendees as a contemporary family drama with history, romance, and a pinch of mystery.

Actually, a lot of mystery! It’s been fun to talk about the book and I am grateful to all of the folks who graciously listened and responded. I am now offering to attend book clubs, in person if in the New Jersey area, or virtually, to contribute to the discussion, answer question, and provide some context for the story behind What Remains of Love. That it was inspired by true events and has been twenty- five years in the making, beginning in 1997 with my family visiting the south of France and
meeting an extraordinary women. '

A true labor of love! Some days I have to pinch myself to realize that this summer actually happened because having the book published is a dream come true.

Thanks to Between the Lines Publishing. And thanks to all of you who have been
supporting me from the beginning of this writing journey. It’s been quite a ride!
