I like to say I inherited my love of baking and gardening from my mother; a love of horses, reading, and writing from my dad—and the wanderlust gene from both. When I traveled to Southold, L.I., with my mother in 1999 to discover our roots, passions collided: my love of faith, family, travel, history, and writing. Little did I know …

Research: Chasing Clues, Ideas, and Whims

I love researching a new novel. I love letting the story swirl in my head as I chase clues, ideas, and whims across the country and into research heaven: libraries and museums, historical sites and societies, bookshops and academia.
