Hi everyone.
I have met so many wonderful people all over the world on my book tours that I decided the only way to keep in touch is through a website.

You can read my new blog here.

Sequel to Too Close to the Falls - Coming October 2009

 After the Falls is my sequel to Too Close to the Falls, and is about my life from age 13-21–as my son says,  "so what".  I have done a bit of blogging about it so I hope you can all check out my blog. The sequel basically covers my change from a 50's  to a 60's girl with all that invokes. All of you who lived through the 60's have some idea what is entailed in that.Two Kennedy's are killed, as well as Martin Luther King.  The Vietnam war rages, the counter culture takes hold, the sexual liberation movement begins, the cities burn, my college graduation is cancelled because of riots and I was investigated by the FBI.  And that doesn't even cover the trouble I got in at home, in high school or with ill-fated romances. It will be published by Knopf in Canada.


The First Man in My Life: Daughters Write About Their Fathers

As many of you know, I've contributed to Sandra Martin's anthology of original pieces about fathers and daughters, which has been published by Penguin Canada. The book is entitled  The First Man in My Life and contains 22 narratives about an insight that made each author see her father in a new light. The publication date is May 19, 2007, just in time for Father's Day.

My contribution is a piece called The Loafers,which is about how much my father helped me in a dangerous situation but I was too locked in teenage rage to thank him. Then, all too suddenly, my teenage years were over but he was gone. There was no second chance.  [Excerpt from The Loafers...]

Seduction

My newest book, a novel called Seduction, is a mystery thriller about Darwin and Freud. The reviews compared it to The Da Vinci Code.  It was on the best seller’s list right away so it really warmed my heart to know I had some loyal fans. I hope that you enjoy it.  As of 2005  it is out in Canada and has been purchased by France, Germany, Bulgaria and Holland, where it is on the best seller list.

I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you for buying my books, for choosing them for your book clubs, and for coming to my appearances.

Enjoy!
