Greetings from Yorktown, Virginia, right off the Chesapeake Bay, where the newly-minted United States won the decisive battle of the Revolutionary War. I’m here aboard our catamaran sailboat, Prelude, and my husband, my dog Sirius, and I will be spending the summer sailing around the bay and exploring. My husband and I live aboard our […]

Happy Mothers Day everyone! I’ll be Zooming with my mom, my dad, and our kids tonight to celebrate. Zoom celebrations have become the new get-together for my family during the pandemic.

Hello from George Town, Grand Exuma Island, Bahamas! For those of you who don’t already know, my husband and I are living on our 38′ catamaran sailboat, the Prelude, for the next few years.

Hello from the middle of nowhere! A month ago, we left North Carolina and I left my day job as a public sector attorney for 2 years of cruising on our catamaran sailboat.

We all have those moments. Every writer (and I mean every writer) has them. The giant facepalm of doom when you realize that in spite of all your efforts to back up your work, you screw something up and days worth of work vanishes into the black hole of lost data. Yep. This weekend is […]
The post Double and Triple Facepalms: How about an excerpt? appeared first on Love Bytes Reviews.
Long days, beautiful sunsets, and vacation. Summer isn’t the quietest time of the year at my real life job, quite the opposite. But it’s also the time of year I find myself with the most inspiration to write (even if it’s hard to find the time). So instead of babbling on about writing or a […]

In less than six months now, I’ll be headed for my own coastal adventure aboard Prelude, our 38 foot catamaran sailboat as my husband and I sail to the Bahamas and spend the next few years as full-time cruisers. Perfect timing too, since my brand new series, Coastal Carolina, debuts September 17, 2019, just a […]
