Hello, Good Readers!

I have a new novel "Isola" out now. I'm excited for you to read it! You can order it here:

https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/bo...

"Isola" is based on the true story of a young woman who sails from France to the New World in 1542 and is marooned on an island in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.

My novel "Sam" is in paperback.

"Sam" is about a young girl's exuberance, wonder, and ambition as she comes of age.
