Sea Escape in the News

I’m really enjoying sharing the story behind SEA ESCAPE, how I found my parents’ love letters and crafted a fictional story around them. This morning, I appeared on WIP-610’s Conversations with Peter Solomon in Philadelphia. Take a listen here. Sea Escape WIP-610 Philly.
I’m grateful to the following outlets for inviting me to share my story with readers.

What Grub Street Writers means to me at Run for Grub
Review in South Shore Living Magazine

Thanks also to the staff of Buttonwood Books in Cohassett, MA and the staff at Where the Sidewalk Ends in Chatham MA. Both of these terrific independent bookstores hosted receptions to launch my second novel.

Just returned from an afternoon, alone at the beach, reading Sea Escape…..
Magnolia….
You made long hidden away memories of days playing on the rocks off Shore Road and the joys of growing up in Magnolia that was, surface once again.
I lost my place there when my Aunt, writer, artist, soulmate and far more than a mother, died some 20 years ago now. She left the gift of not only letters but her writings in The Gloucester Times and Boston Herald. I was the daughter she never had and was blessed to have her in my care and keeping, from the slight distance of Long Island. I was the one who made “those” decisions for her and kept her alive then as I do today through her own words.
The author knows the North Shore, where my inner calm surfaces on those now, infrequent visits.
Thank you. I walked away from the blissfully perfect late summer day at the beach, transported.
The family will wait for dinner while I read just one more page…..
