]]> I have been working toward publication of my novel Core – a story of generational transition on farms. This was written in 2019 and put on the back burner multiple times. I think its time has come!  Watch my social media dn here for an alert to the book launch events and book signing schedule. In the meantime I have worked on other book projects. I have spent a lot of time with family. I finished up a five year commitment to a research job. I have ordered a new modular home for spring 2026 and have made pace for my son and his family to live here too. Together the family is creating a homestead that will provide grandchildren with wonderful foundations and memories. I have been busy with my storytelling, so many organizations, schools and nursing home visits! In the fall I had a busy announcing season in Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Maine. All these woderful moments woven into a busy life and now catching up here to carry my web presence forward with me! Let’s go!

In my recent travels, I keep seeing reminders of the messages in my new novel Christmas Letters. They pop up and make me smile in the middle of a busy day. My story premise is of a farm family, their military service, community, farm, and the letters they leave behind to enlighten the next generation.

I was in Memory Lane Antique Shop on Rte 44 in Coventry CT when I spied this milk bottle.

 

 

 

Stone Acres is the multi-generational farm owned by the family of Rob Simmons, who wrote the forward for my book. Rob’s family found a suitcase full of WWII letters just before I called to ask about writing the forward. The coincidence is profound!

On another outing a friend and I stopped for lunch at Arrowhead Winery in Franklin CT. We saw this painted rock just outside the door of this dairy barn converted to a winery. The vibrant colors caught my eye. The message about Veterans is such a strong thread in Christmas Letters. Remember to thank the Veterans you meet!

 

I am so pleased to add Christmas Letters to my family of books. In each book you will find my country living voice, respect for those who work the land, positivity, and hope.

Christmas Letters available at www.amazon.com/dp/BOCCMPC7W
