My two novels are Our Child of the Stars (2019), and Our Child of Two Worlds (2022). I talk about craft, creativity, publishing and life – and whatever else rocks my socks. I am working on a novel and a novella. Check out my free fiction. I also offer services for creatives – just ask, don’t be afraid. I just launched my Media Masterclass for creatives

About the books
In the books, Molly is the main narrative voice – a passionate nurse fighting for her own extraordinary child. Cory is gentle, vibrant, excitable, endlessly curious, and loving – and both joy and danger comes from his otherworldly origins. The books are deeply interested in people, families, relationships, but the story also challenges us about how we treat each other and how we treat the planet.
Our Child of the Stars. In the year of Woodstock and the moon landings, childless couple Gene and Molly save a wounded child from the stars and call him Cory. How can they keep him safe unless they keep him a secret?
In Our Child of Two Worlds, the whole world knows about Cory. The Earth is in danger and his people must come to help. Yet Molly fears they will take Cory away – how much would you do to save your son?
Forthcoming events will be posted – more video interviews soon!
