I just received a new 5-star review of #TwinFlames 🤩

"Twin Flames is a beautiful book. For anyone who loves poetry, or anyone who simply needs a moment away from the world, it has earned its place."

Grateful 🙏

I woke up to a lovely surprise. Someone bought #TwinFlames - in Japan!

I feel very grateful, I never imagined my poetry would travel so far! Whoever you are, thank you so much 🙏❤️

Every time I feel like giving up, the Universe sends me a sign🌷

Historical facts from the 19th century are woven into the fictional world of Lord and Lady Tinley, adding intrigue and suspense, outrageous personalities, murder, and harrowing rescues—all in service of the Crown and the realm's peace.
#Murder #Mystery #Mayhem

19 book covers for the series Crimes Against the Crown, all of them 19th-century-inspired.

I wrote Autumn Again in 1986 at age 18.

Just as summer gives way to autumn, so does girlhood give way to womanhood.

To me, autumn is about #passion, #transformation and #awakening.

Great advice, especially in times when the entire world seemingly has gone insane.
