Going on a Bear Hunt….the children’s rhyme never seemed so apropos. First, Hugh Taylor jumps from my book, When The Pilot Falls, into the real world and then he decides to wander across the country on an odyssey of epic proportions.

When The Pilot Falls
The looooong wait is over. When The Pilot Falls, my new historical fairytale retelling of East of the Sun, West of the Moon, is available on Amazon!

Dance Fever
Disco Balls and Dance Fever I rolled my shoulders and prepared to step off the train. After much discussion, our band decided that the last stop was an aberration.
