It has been another busy week so far at Athena House in Boston. There really isn’t a ‘typical’ week for me.

Hello, friends! Becky and I have just returned from a ten-day trip to Los Angeles and Vancouver. Why were we there? That information is top secret, but its initials are P.J.O.T.V. We started our adventures in L.A. the weekend of the Super Bowl, and no — when we planned this trip, we had no idea…

Art by Lavanya Naidu A quick thank you to everyone who bought and read Daughter of the Deep this last month! I never take it for granted that one of my books will do well, especially when it is something different than what I’ve done before. I wrote this book simply because I felt strongly that…
We have just returned from a productive week in Los Angeles, but before I get into that, a big thank you to everybody who came out for the virtual Daughter of the Deep tour. COVID-related supply chain problems delayed the production of the books, including the signed editions, but those should all be shipped now,…
