New Kirkus review for Easter at The Three Coins Inn
In preparing for my next novel’s release on December 6th, I’ve been receiving a lot of editorial reviews. My next novel, Easter at The Three Coins Inn, is a follow-up to the first novel I published, Three Coins, and part of a new series (I’m well into the third installment, which I plan on publishing…

So exciting … I am writing my first series! I’ve decided to turn my début novel, Three Coins, into a series. In Easter at The Three Coins Inn, I’ve picked up the story four years after my story left off – to follow my three unlikely friends, Emma, Tiffany and Annarita, after they cemented a…

I’m so excited to be one step closer to publishing my next novel, which I plan to release this fall. I just received feedback from (wonderful) beta readers and prepared my manuscript to send to my editor. When she returns with those edits, I’ll take another crack at it before getting it to my proofreader,…
Read MoreTodi’s beautiful Palazzo del Popolo
Todi is a picturesque medieval hilltown in Umbria – and its central square, Pizza del Popolo, is wonderfully picturesque. It’s a great place to sit and watch life pass you by. I was here recently on a lovely autumn day, and, when I got tired of walking up and down the steep hills, I enjoyed…

I’ve already written about the wonderful view from the San Fortunato bell tower , and I’ll have future posts on the beautiful squares and churches of this pretty Umbrian hill town. But today, I want to talk about all the hills a tourist has to climb to visit these picturesque hill towns …. and to…

Read MoreViews over Gubbio from atop Mount Ingino
Last week I wrote about the charming, medieval town of Gubbio – located in Italy’s Umbria region. If you’re there on a clear day (as we were), you don’t want to miss out on spectacular views over the medieval tile rooftops from the peak of Mount Ingino – a small peak of the Apennine mountains…
Read MoreMedieval splendor in Gubbio
It’s been years that I’ve wanted to visit the town of Gubbio – in Italy’s Umbria region. I have travelled all throughout the pretty region of Umbria, but Gubbio is on its far eastern side, and I never managed to get there. That’s why I was so happy to visit during the Christmas break. It…
Read MoreExploring Narni’s winding, medieval streets
This past summer, my track-and-field-addicted son attended a running camp in the Umbrian hill town of Narni – in central Italy. I’ve travelled a lot in Umbria, but it was my first time in this little village. Picking my son and dropping him off for his camp, I was quite envious he got to enjoy…
Read MoreThe long trip down San Patrizio’s well, Orvieto
I love the Umbrian town of Orvieto, perched up so dramatically on a hilltop. I’ve already written about the views over the town from the Moro Tower and the town’s Etruscan Museum, with its stunning views over the cathedral, but there’s plenty more to see when you’re in town. If you’re coming in by train and…
