Lacey Larkin is pink, chaotic, and heir to her father's restaurant empire. Mikhail Sokolov is broody, grumpy, and the new head chef who wants nothing to do with her. But Lacey is determined to make Mikhail fall for her. A romantic comedy about falling for the one person who refuses to fall back.

This book is not about success. Not about relationships. Not about advice. This is a voice. The voice of a woman who is tired of being a function. Who has realized that strength is not a cause, but a symptom. Who has stopped apologizing for her silence and for her anger. There are no fictional characters here. There is her. And her monologues. About everyday life, about death, about love, about instant noodles, and about how to stay alive when everyone around you expects you to be "convenient." If you have ever felt that you are loved like a ladder - as long as you bear the weight - this book is for you. Living loudly is not about noise. It's about honesty.

I like to cook, and now so does my 14-year-old son. This is a good thing, but it's not without its drawbacks. He's good and he's creative, but he's also messy, still learning, and hard on my pans!

White Horses on the Bay is an 80,000 word literary fiction spanning two eras in one extraordinary seaside town. The main narrative follows six days in the life of Fisher Sullivan, a young grave digger and church custodian struggling to find meaning and acceptance in his isolated world. The unusual but true story of a famous opera star, now buried in the historic cemetery Fisher maintains, echoes throughout the book. Twillingate, Newfoundland in the spring of 1964, is the setting for the whirlwind of events that challenge Fisher to think beyond his self inflicted solitude. The late 1800's and the beginning of the 20th Century is the era of the opera star who left the same quiet fishing village for the grand theatres of Europe. Fisher Sullivan and Georgina Stirling live in separate times yet their need for love and their ties to home remain constant forces in their journeys. Fisher's grandmother, Norma Sullivan, awaiting her own death in Twillingate's Memorial Hospital, has lived through both eras. Her last days are filled with memories of the way things used to be and perhaps still are.
