Describe your latest work. When I started working on Plant-Thinking in 2008, I had no idea that the project would turn out to be as broad as it did....

The best of this series to date. Ruby, grieving and feeling overwhelmed with business and family issues, heads out of town for a few days to help a friend and to try and think about what it is she really wants to do with the rest of her life. Instead she ends up in the middle of the strangest situation she has ever come across. Meanwhile, another story is playing out in 1900 where Rachel Blackburn and her five children are caught in the Galveston Hurricane, the worst natural disaster in US History. This book is nearly impossible to put down and both tales are equally compelling. Read it!
The late Maeve Binchy unfailingly welcomed the reader into a comforting world where everyone knows everyone else and redemption is always close at hand. This last work is more a collection of short stories tied together through a big stone mansion cum hotel in rural Western Ireland, yet it works as a novel with all the gentle insights, acceptance of individual foibles, and just plain heart her readers have come to expect. So grab a cup of tea and a comfortable chair and go there, to Maeve's world, one last time
Another fun visit in Tinker's Cove. The town's children are gathered for the annual Easter egg hunt outside the Van Vorst estate but plans change when the elderly woman's grandson, dressed as the Easter bunny collapses right in front of them. What is going on up at that mansion? Is old Mrs Van Vorst being abused? Why are members of her family starting to die in mysterious circumstances? Leave it to the intrepid Lucy Stone to get right in the middle of things - but will she be in time to prevent any more deaths?
If you are of a delicate nature, easily offended, or terrified of squirrels, run far far away from this book. If, on the other hand, you enjoy snarky, bizarrish humor, this is the one for you. Jenny Lawson is hilarious.
Mas just wants a normal life. It's what she's always wanted and never found. With a cast of characters ranging from her larger than life, fortune-telling mama to her n'er do well of a husband, she is surrounded by everything BUT normal. She is unhappy in her job and her marriage but she has two young daughters she adores and an optimistic nature. Will that be enough? Can she ever find what she truly wants? Will she recognize it if it ever happens? An enjoyable romp.
