Friends, I’m so happy summer is here. It’s time to enjoy nature, tackle my reading list, and soak up the sun! Some favorite reads so far include the stunning The Secret of Clouds by Alyson Richman, The Dutch House by Ann Patchett was an intriguing read, and a novel you’ll likely stay up all night to read (I did!), Heather Gudenkauf’s This is How I Lied. Read my reviews here on Goodreads. Thanks to all my readers who made my recent Facebook giveaway so fun. Add Water Lily Dance and Essie’s Roses to your summer reading list. Heartwarming historical fiction.

Like you, friends, I’ve been staying home and a bit sad, missing the beauty of spring. But we can be thankful for our imaginations and love of escaping into the fascinating and absorbing worlds of novels. The bright side: it’s a good time to read more. I’m trying to stay positive and catching up on my reading list (too many!).
And thank you for adding Essie’s Roses and Water Lily Dance to your reading list and for your continued encouragement–Kindle bestsellers thanks to you! So many new, exciting Spring reads. I am forever grateful you continue to share my new novel Water Lily Dance and treasured debut Essie’s Roses. You’ve lifted my spirits, and I hope these stories (walks among their magnolias, roses, and water lilies) offer you an escape and lift and inspire your hearts.

Thank You!
Happy Fall! Thank you for making Water Lily Dance an Amazon bestseller! I’ve been so excited to share my new novel with you.
Water Lily Dance is an imaginative historical, women’s fiction novel from my heart to yours. Past intertwines with the present as we follow the lives and secrets of three women uniquely connected by the most famous artist in the world, Claude Monet. But at what cost?
