'Tis the Season

I've been shopping lately for Christmas presents for everybody....I definitely avoided the Black Friday Extravaganza(too much for me).  It's usually a last minute dash, but I wanted this year to be different.  I love all the festivities and I'm a sucker for those holiday movies (especially the old ones on TCM that I grew up with), hot chocolate, popcorn, a warm fire, and a cozy blanket---HEAVEN!

This will mark the second year that I will be traveling down to Georgia to be with my daughter, son-in-law, and grandchildren for Christmas....and I love every moment of it! 

Merry Christmas to All!

The Savannah Children's Book Festival

What a bright and sunny day!  The weather was delightful and so was the company!  I enjoyed conversing with fellow authors, making some contacts, and most of all, meeting everybody that walked by!  It was a lot to do to prepare for this event and it was well worth it! 

Thank you to everybody who came by and bought a book and a butterfly...it meant the world to me :)

As the Summer Draws to a Close

Summer is winding down, even though it won't be officially over for another month (the heat too!), the school bells are starting to ring, and everybody is packing away their vacation luggage. I hope everyone enjoyed all that the season had to offer!  Was there a novel or collection of short stories that you couldn't put down?  Tell me about it! I know I had my share.  I'm still reading The Senator's Wife by Sue Miller.

Ideas for the Second Book in the Series

I've been jotting down ideas lately for the next adventure baby caterpillar and his butterfly family will go on.  It's a process and I have so many different scenerios I want to put them in.  My grandchildren are so excited and keep asking me what this one will be about.  I keep telling them they have to be patient. Well, it's back to the drawing board! Goodbye for now!

Welcome to My Website!

Hi everybody!  I'm a new author and this is a dream come true for me!  I just love this book because it's something I've been wanting to write since my daughter was little and now it's finally finished for my three grandchilren! So much happens when you're raising a child, making a major move from CT to SC, and then faced with finding out recently--after nearly dying three times--that I have what's called recurrent asthmatic bronchitis.

I was recently in the Easter Sunday Edition of the Republican-American newspaper and I will be in the 8th Annual Savannah Children's Book Festival on November 19, 2011!  Hope to see you there!

I want this book to be the beginning of a series of books on the adventures baby caterpillar and his butterfly family go on, that children of all ages can enjoy for years to come!

Hope you enjoy my website!
