A magical story about a woman in search of healing who finds herself entangled in the dark secrets of the garden she’d hoped would heal her. This will be such a fun evening, so don’t miss out!

I’m excited to be the festival host for the 10th Annual Rocky Mountain Literary Festival October 12 at Mt. Vernon Country Club. This event benefits Bootstraps, Inc. a local nonprofit that supports the educational dreams of our mountain youth through scholarships. So excited to hear from authors Heather Webb, Kate Manning, Erika Robuck and Steve Physioc. It’s a wonderful event and if there’s still tickets you should join us!

Hosted by the Colorado P.E.O Chapter FP, Wheat Ridge, of P.E.O International.

I’ll be speaking alongside three amazing Colorado authors, Jayme Mansfield, Margaret Mizushima and Patricia Raybon about our books and writing careers. Should be an exciting event!
