Happy Mother’s Day and a big smile for my mom when I was 6 years old
I want to wish all the lovely mothers a wonderful day filled with love, joy, and smiles from your children. For a smile is a magic elixir that makes every day Mother’s Day.
And yes, that’s me with my mom – I was six years old. And did you see that smile on my face?
Magic.

For #InternationalWomensDay a special sisterhood I will never forget
I write about sisterhood during World War 2 in Paris (Sisters At War), but last weekend I found my own sisterhood at the UC Irvine Homecoming when I spent the day with women alumnae from my graduating class I’d never known when I attended the university.
Marianne, Kathy, and Nancy.
I’m shy by nature and these 3 alumnae picked me up like a lost kitten and showed me such kindess and friendship, I’m tearing up now at the lovely memory.
Thank you, ladies! You made the day special for me and I salute you on #internationalwomensday!

SISTERS AT WAR is a Kindle Australia Goldbox pick
I’m excited to announce SISTERS AT WAR is a Kindle Australia Goldbox pick January 21 2024 in Literature and Fiction! A story about 2 sisters and how sexual violence during wartime (Occupied Paris WW2) changes their lives
This is Book One — I’m writing the sequel SISTERS OF THE RESISTANCE now… there was so much ground to cover with the Beaufort Sisters and the untold story of women becoming victims of rape and sexual assault during wartime, not just the physical pain, but the mental and shame women go through anytime sexual assault happens, there wasn’t room in one book to cover the whole story.
Thank you for listening…
