Hello lovely readers!
Winter Storm!
Like many others on the East Coast, we’re in the midst of a winter storm. So far, we’ve had lots of snow and freezing rain. I love a good storm. Snow is so pretty. Prayers for those suffering from the storm. I hope everyone still has power. If you’re in the midst of this storm, let me know how you’re faring.
My son and husband periodically went outside to shovel the driveway and clear the car. We were supposed to take our son back to school on Sunday. Our plans were obviously cancelled due to the storm. School was supposed to start on Monday, but, Towson has a 2-day closure due to the weather. As of now, he’s due back on Wednesday – that’s when classes should start.
Apologies
Many of you contacted me, wondering to where I’d disappeared. I was confused as to what you were referring. I discovered that my emails for the last few weeks have been irregularly landing in many people’s SPAM folders. My email provider mentioned that it’s probably due to the Youtube audiobook links in my emails. They suggested that I not use direct Youtube links for audiobooks in my emails. I still don’t understand WHY this happened!
I’m making a new page on my site that includes all of the links to my Youtube audiobooks. Once that’s set up, I’ll let you know. In the meantime, simply subscribe to my channel and see all of the audiobooks on the Audiobooks Playlist. Tell your friends!

Raquel’s father died when she was a baby – that’s what she thought…
She receives a mysterious phone call – stating her father is alive and in hospice. He must see her before he dies. Why has her mother lied to her for all these years about her father’s “death”?
She must rely on Patrick, her ex, to help her to make the trip to see her father during a massive snowstorm. Patrick has his own set of problems – he never told Raquel the real reason why he abandoned her three years ago.
