When I was writing Now & Then, the main character Anna felt the sting of poverty and lack of food for the first time in her life. She had been transported Read More
Right after I decided to start a blog, I went to Scotland for a month-long writing fellowship at a castle and discovered that writing a blog was pretty hard when I had to walk for 45 minutes to get to the nearest internet. So I am back home now and promise to make up for Read More
I am SO fascinated by castles and all the mysteries they must hold and pile on time travel and well, you had me at hello, here's my new book "Now and Then". I loved it ! I didn't want it to end and found myself hoping there is a sequel whereby we learn what happened to Donal and Taleen and how they somehow served a higher purpose to the future Anna and Joseph. Please do tell more about the castle and if you felt a special connection to its very being and if you still carry that with you. I think I must have been Irish in another life ! I have recently learned that my ancestors on my fathers side were Scottish and were thrown out of Scotland as they were an unruly lot. On my "bucket list" is to visit Scotland and Ireland to make the connection. I also loved that you included the Irish Wolfhound in your book; makes me want to go out and get one of these beloved creatures. I can't wait for your next book - I do hope it includes time travel. Thank you for entertaining so many of us in such a delightful way.

Fascinating. The picture of the castle on your blog drew me in and I had to read more about it. Just enjoyed Lost and Found and will buy Now and Then. Can't wait for more!!

I just finished Now and Then. I couldn't put it down and yes, I want a sequel. I will be heading to the library to get anything you write.

I'm hoping that you read your blog still, it looks like it has been a while. Just finished Now and Then, and am truly hoping that there will be a Now and Then Again! The characters were so richly written, that I feel like I have been told an important story that I don't know how it ends. The loose ends were all woven together in Lost and Found, and so with Anna and Donal I am left wanting more. I am hoping that is the point, and that more is on the way... Best wishes to you, and thank you for telling stories that pull at you.

Sondra: You are so right; I have been traveling and busy writing another book so I have been down right negligent of my blog. But thanks for your comments about Now & Then. I am so fond of those characters and their twisting path through time.

At the moment I'm working on a sequel to Lost & Found, but who knows what might happen after that. I have quite a few story ideas lined up waiting for attention.

Just finished Now and Then. Grippingly emotional writing. What about coming to Kaua'i and doing a writing and yoga week here.
We have b&bs , kalaheo yoga center, and fabulous island....?...

Did you say Kauai? I would come in a heartbeat. It is my favorite island and my memories of hiking on Kauai are among my dearest.
