Welcome!
This page is dedicated to writing.
For many years I was American Thought Editor, columnist and frequent contributor of articles for USA Today Magazine, which (as have all too many nonprofits) ceased due to lack of funding. Other publications include St. Anthony Messenger, The Priest, and the Journal of Counseling and Development.
I am venturing now into the world of fiction, launching a series based in the fictional west-central Florida town of Sunflower Beach. The first novel, Falling Feathers, was released in August 2025. In Falling Feathers, Alex, a middle-aged librarian, wife and mother, tries to reclaim her life despite the constant interference of family and friends trying to be “helpful.” I hope you enjoy!

The second novel in the series, Never Just One, focuses on Beth, Alex’s daughter-in-law, who seems to have the perfect life, and slowly discovers that, when it comes to lies, there is never just one. Never Just One was published in November, 2025.

The third novel in the series, The Year of Chaos, focuses on Gloria and her struggle to deal with multiple life changes and a traumatic childhood.

The fourth book in the series, a collection of short stories about Sunflower Beach characters familiar and new, is expected to release in Autumn, 2026.
Meanwhile, the first three novels are available on Amazon, other online booksellers and of course available for order at your favorite indy bookseller! They are available at a reduced price from the links on this page.
