Hello, my wonderful readers! At least, I’m being hopeful that there’s more than one of you. If not, then a warm welcome to the singular wonderful reader who has taken the time to visit me today.
This is my first blog post on this site, and I would like to talk about something that I’ve been working on for the last few years. My first novel, Lost in Fondant™, will be released on April 24, 2026 on Amazon!
To say I’m over the moon is an understatement. What started as a simple, one sentence writing prompt in my creative writing group has snowballed into an entire world filled with hope and heartbreak, deceit and determination. This book, and these characters, have lived in the space between my ears for a long time now. I can’t tell you what a relief it is to finally share them with the world.
Anyway, if you’re curious, here is the description of the book:
Frankie Bonneville is supposed to be dead.
According to the papers, she was brutally murdered in her Murray Hill apartment.
But Frankie is very much alive.
Before her alleged death, Frankie’s bakery earned a coveted spot on the Sweet Screams Halloween Baking Challenge, a nationally televised competition offering a $50,000 prize. With her sister Lucy’s engineering genius and Frankie’s flair for the macabre, they’re a force to be reckoned with.
Then Bianca Damiano enters the picture.
A mafia princess, desperate influencer wannabe, and Frankie’s former school bully, Bianca is determined to win at any cost. When sabotage fails to stop Frankie, Bianca coerces her father’s trusted capo into eliminating her. Permanently.
Using her skills as a master cake artist, Frankie stages her own death and prepares for the fight of her life.
Will art save her life, or will life imitate art?
