Am I in Paradise?

The other morning Nick woke up and began singing as usual.  I am always intrigued as to what he begins to sing.  Morning songs have a theme.  This time, he didn’t start at the beginning, “Oh think twice, it’s just another day for you and me in paradise. Oh think twice, ’cause it’s just another

My Not-So-Brave New World

How are you and your loved ones coping with Covid-19?  I have heard this question from many sources recently.  Many people are sincerely concerned about themselves and others. For the most part I am doing ok with keeping fear at bay over these past three weeks of practicing social distancing. After all, facing fear is

I underestimated Nick. AGAIN!

I haven’t written a post lately.  Nick has been in a low place physically and my mood has matched.  It makes me sad to see him struggle to move from his wheelchair to another chair, etc. and I just haven’t known what to share. Well, yesterday started out the same as all the rest of

Gratitude often comes after the event.

Over the last two days, I was reminded that sometimes it takes a while for my grateful heart to reappear after the crisis passes. This week began our annual season of thankfulness and gratitude, followed by the season of love.  Each year I love it. Nick enjoys everything about air travel.  Tuesday afternoon we were

“We not forget our roots!”

Recently while visiting with some friends in Ireland, we were talking about celebrities and how it seems easy for some people to get caught up in their own reputations and then be carried away by their fame.  This can also happen when people become highly successful in their career, volunteer work, or other accomplishments.  From

Watch Out For The Police!

For decades, Nick has had a habit of calling out a warning to those who are leaving our home: “Watch out for the police!”  I don’t know what the initial event was that precipitated his caution.  I do know that we have repeatedly told people to drive the speed limit in our small town, because

A true friend.

Last week we held the Nick book launch party in Duvall.  We felt great excitement as we prepared to gather with our friends to recognize that my newest book, “Our Time To Dance,” was now available for purchase.  We arrived at the venue about 45 minutes before the start time to ready the room.  Nick

Caution: Unforeseen paradigm shifts ahead!

You might not be aware that Port Townsend, WA, a charming seaside town, is known as “The Mecca of Bowmaking.”  We weren’t.  This week, Arden, Nick and I took a short road-trip to view a film playing in the Rose Theatre in Port Townsend.  We thought we were going there just to have an outing

Celebrating awesome people.

I was invited to help celebrate the 40th birthday of Children’s Therapy Center based in Kent, Washington.  CTC has always been on the forefront of multi-disciplinary therapy for children to help them achieve maximum independence. My chance to speak gave me the unforgettable opportunity to publicly acknowledge and thank three people who dramatically changed the

Announcing that I have finished a book with the working title of “The Fairy Fort.” I am currently pitching it to publishers. Keep checking back to watch the progress of my newest novel.

Here is a quick glimpse of the story.

Sarah Doherty is an 18-year-old living in rural Ireland at the tail end of the Great War. Plagued by severe epilepsy, she is protected by her parents and lives a sheltered, secluded, lonely life. The Fae, local Irish fairies, interfere with her life. She falls forward a century in time through the local fairy fort of standing stones. She had a seizure in 1918 and woke up in 2020. The 21st century world includes life-saving prescriptions, physical comforts and the independence and freedom she seeks. The locals are welcoming and Andy Mclaughlin, a handsome young historian, is intriguing. She doesn’t want to return home.

Then a letter arrives from Boston divulging the story of Sarah and Andy’s lives that are deeply entwined in the previous century. They are not yet in love but as they seek to verify the letter through online resources, they feel a growing obligation to their unborn family and to each other. What would happen to their posterity living in Boston if they don’t return to 1918? Even if they do make it back, her parents can never know what happened to her or that would change everything.

This Young Adult time-travel romance explores the question: Do we have the freedom to make choices or is free will an elaborate illusion?

This is my third book. I love reading time travel romances. I am an advocate for epilepsy awareness because my 43-year-old son has intractable epilepsy. As a genealogist specializing in Irish research, I live part of the year in the village where the story is based. I wrote the book to help young adults understand that difficult situations can change your life. Sometimes miraculously.
