Announcing the release of my women’s fiction novel, Condemn Me Not. 

The words no mother wants to say, and every mother yearns to hear.

Bound by friendship, two women find themselves at common crossroads, struggling with choices both past and present, career and home. 

Simone Sheridan and Claire Atkins have been friends since college. Upon graduation, they took off in different directions, forging separate paths through motherhood. Neither planned to look back on the road they traveled with regret—yet that’s exactly what’s at stake when their daughters issue opposing proclamations with regard to college. 

Both mothers battle the news, but soon come to learn they must change course, or lose the sacred relationship between mother and daughter. But change is not an easy task when Simone and Claire unexpectedly find themselves staring down their choices, confronted by the same question:  Where did I go wrong? 

This one is still about the women, their issues, but without the romance.  The debate is an old one, but undeniably continues to burn hot.  And why? Is the sisterhood broken?  Have we taken sides, drawn lines in the sand?

Every woman has an opinion on this subject and most believe theirs is the right.  Can this be?

It’s an age-old debate, but Condemn Me Not will surely stoke the flames of discussion.  A good thing!  No kids?  A piece of someone you know will leap from these pages… 

Available exclusively from Amazon, for a limited time only!

It’s Black Friday and not a minute too soon!  Or wait–is it too soon?

People ask that question every year.  Is Christmas pushing its way into Thanksgiving?  Creeping in on Halloween?  I don’t know about you, but I found it odd to walk the aisles of my nearby Lowes Home Improvement store where ghosts and ghouls littered the one side, while Santa and his reindeer pranced along the other.

Odd.  It was a tangle of confusion, resistance.  I was having a hard enough time as it was dealing with the fact that October was halfway over, let alone I had to start thinking about Christmas!

But what’s a gal to do–other than leave the kids at home when she goes shopping anywhere this time of year?

“Mom, can we get some more candy?”

“Because you didn’t get enough, traipsing through the streets the other night?”

“Can we buy some pumpkin pie?”

“Don’t you think you ate enough over the last three nights?  I know I did!”

“Mom–we NEED that ginormous Santa Claus balloon decoration for the front yard.  Can we get it?”

“Are you kidding me?”

We are rocking and rolling from here on out, celebrating the best of 2012 and looking forward to 2013!  New releases, giveaways, books, new authors and plain old fun—you’ll find it all right here. :)
