Forthcoming from Sibylline Press Fall 2023
Excited to announce that I have signed a contract and my historical novel, The Bereaved, will be in bookstores in fall 2023. Prepare yourself for nattering and humblebrags with a side of shameless self promotion. I hope you will love the story of Martha and her Orphan Train children, based on the true story of my fourth great grandmother and her four scattered children. Writing this story was one way I grieved the loss of our son. Martha and her lost boy are so much a part of me. Literally in my DNA. #fallbooks #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #historicalfiction #civilwar #suicidelosssurvivor

Bright lights, big cities
Busy days. (Note to self: why is “busy” spelled this way but sounds like “bizzy”?) I know, I’m addicted to busy, but life is full and there’s always a lot to do. Indulge me, will you?

All to good ends, friends, because the second installment of the…

BWW Reviews: Party Lines and Party Dresses – A Look at New Work from Julia Park Tracey by Karen Biscopink “I’m beginning to rebel. I crave adventures. I want to live. Not merely exist.” So writes Doris Bailey, a fifteen-year-old diarist living in 1920s America. Editor Julia Park Tracey has compiled a portion of her great-aunt’s journals in her newest book, “I’ve Got Some Lovin’ To Do: The Diaries of a Roaring Twenties Teen.” Doris’s documentation of her teenage years does not, in terms of the above, go on to disappoint: rebellion, adventure, late-night rendezvous and borrowed (sometimes wrecked) vehicles. Tracey has painstakingly transcribed her ancestor’s passionate recountings from a…

Getting ready for Tongues of Angels
I have just one more event in April, and that’s a Doris event at the Alameda Library (see sidebar for calendar info!). But in my hands I hold the proofs to the new edition of Tongues of Angels, and that means the new edition is just days away from uploading to Amazon. Days, like 10 days, not like 2 days. But days, not weeks or months. Days. That makes me glad. Watch this space for more news, soon.
