This website is focused on my novels. It has been some time since I've been published, for a number of reasons, most keenly the ups and downs and ins and outs of the publishing business. I'm still writing - and hoping that my work will be published again. Subscribe to my Substack, and I will keep you apprised.
I've published five novels: It Started in June, Every Other Wednesday, The Summer Cottage, A Changing Marriage, and The Good Life. You can sometimes find my books in your local library and always order them online.
It Started in June
Kensington, May 29, 2018
Grace Trumbull’s after work drink with Bradley Hanover, a handsome younger colleague, on a warm summer night turns into an impulsive, intimate encounter. After a few weeks of exhilarating secret dates, Grace—forty-two and divorced—realizes she’s pregnant.
For Grace, whose estranged mother refers to her own teenage pregnancy as her biggest mistake, the prospect of parenthood is daunting. She’s just been made vice president of a media relations company and is child free by choice. Still, something deeper than her fear makes her want to keep the baby. She knows she can be a better, more capable parent than her mother was to her.
As months pass and seasons change, Grace questions her decision to include Bradley in her plans. But they continue to navigate their complicated relationship, each struggling with what it means to make a commitment to someone. Can a woman with a troubled childhood and a man who has never known trouble merge their divergent experiences into a loving and sustainable life together?
