Name a song...any song...


Just about any journey can be summed up in a song, it seems. Maybe not the title, but definitely a lyric. I keep going back to, “What a long, strange trip it’s been.” Thank you, Grateful Dead.
Getting It Could Have Been Murder out into the world has been a journey, and there were times I felt like I was in the Bizarro world, and times I felt like Patrick Bateman in “American Psycho,” and then there were times that I felt like I was putting my son on the bus the very first day of kindergarten, praying that his day would be magical and that he would come home with loads of stories and new friends.
Almost immediately after finishing It Could Have Been Murder, I started working on Such a Fantastic Girl. It’s a huge departure from my first book, but it was a story that felt like it needed to get out of my head. When it’s ready, I hope you’ll give it a read. Stay tuned to my author website or socials for the upcoming release date!
Coming Soon!
Such a Fantastic Girl
The James family are a happy bunch: Sara, a doctor; Rob, an I/T guy; 2 children, Jen (11) and Bryan (10). They live an idyllic life–a garden, dogs, hens, a pair of sheep, a goat, and a miniature horse. An unplanned, but very much wanted pregnancy ends in miscarriage, causing the family to implode.
Such a Fantastic Girl alternates points of view between Sara, Rob, Jen, and Bryan over the subsequent years as they navigate the new course their lives have taken in the wake of the destruction wrought by the miscarriage. The book explores the notions of forgiveness and finding peace, even though it may be an uneasy sort of peace where not everybody wins. Lives go on, new families are made, relationships forged, and hard decisions are forced to allow for healing in whatever form it takes.
