It's been a crazy time for the few months before and the three weeks after my surgery for a new hip. Preparing for my latest release of The Old Cape Blood Ruby and... becoming a bionic woman with two titanium hips made my schedule interesting.
I've missed walking, hiking, and visiting the grand kids, and yet, a general longing for adventure stays with me every day. I look forward to...

Sharing booth space with my best friend, Anita Caruso. We both love meeting our readers and selling our individual book series. Anita writes a children's series, Brayden's Magical Journey and of course, I create the Old Cape Series.

Hi Barbara! It took me a while to figure out how to get here to give a review. But first, I wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed meeting you at your book signing at the Brewster Bookstore.
ReplyDeleteI finished both the Old Cape House and the Old Cape Teapot and am halfway through the Old Cape Hollywood secret. I thought your first book was good but the next two have been even better! Love how you mix history, different times and different story lines so masterfully! I am especially enjoying the history of old Hollywood, I grew up on so many of the actors and actresses you have mentioned, even having just finished the autobiography of Esther Williams. I am constantly delighted when you make references to things that I am familiar with. In the Old Cape Teapot I loved learning about Enoch's rock and how it is called Doane's rock today. Your writing is surprising and wonderful! I always pick up books to look at for summer beach reading but nothing has ever really appealed to me but I found your books and have enjoyed reading them at the beach and at home, I can't seem to put them down once I start them. Thankyou! They are my kind of books! Please, keep writing and I will keep buying. Looking forward to the YA book that I am confident you will write! Best of everything to you! Julie Jaran
Hi Julie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your kind words...always appreciated. And a big think you for your gift of "Witch of Blackbird Pond", I found it to be an interesting read!
