I’m starting to write book two of “Ten Kids, Two Lovebirds, and a Singing Mermaid.”The blue journal is the first journal, the second journal is pink and says, ironically, BRIGHT IDEAS.I hope I have some bright ideas. I DEFINITELY need those…

“Ten Kids” is set in the neighborhood I grew up in for 10 years in Huntington Beach, California, on Deauville Drive. It’s not based on my own childhood, but I threw a lot of my childhood into it.Happy 2025!

From my house to yours, Happy New Year!

Wishing you and your family a healthy, laugh-filled, book-filled year.

Peace.

Hello everyone,

Click on the link to Substack, below, if you would like to read a short and sweet article about the holidays.

Here’s the start…

Hello all,

I wanted to take a moment to wish you peace and joy this holiday season with no family fights involving flying mashed potatoes or pecans used as weapons.

Those types of holiday dinners are so unpleasant. And messy!

For those of you visiting in-laws or family members who make you think you need a straight shot of tequila or five to survive, I wish you good luck. Remember, this too shall end.

Just make sure it ends without you dancing on top of a bar like a crazy banshee because of that tequila and finding your sorry self on You Tube.

Be this person instead…

I have to write.Some people have to make art or compose music or do yoga or sing.I have to write.Writing holds me together, it holds my life together. It’s my work and it’s my escape and it’s a joy and it’s a bad literary puzzle.I knew I wanted to write when I was sixteen. My high school had a newspaper and I would read articles by classmates older than me, smarter than me, and certainly more engaging and cool, as I was about as awkward as an iguana.I was in awe of their writing skills, and in awe that their names were actually in the paper…CLICK ON THE LINK TO SEE MY NEWSLETTER ON SUBSTACK.
