Hi Friends,
The audiobook version of IRISH EYES is now available for pre-order! Buy it on Apple, Audible, Barnes & Noble, Google, Libro.fm and Spotify.
Narrated by Galway-born Jade Yourell, IRISH EYES will release this March 31st. Jade’s work is absolutely amazing! I can’t imagine an artist better suited to voice my heroine, Rose O’Neill.

Until next time…

Before we all scattered for the Thanksgiving holiday, I chatted with historical fiction author Finola Austin AKA The Secret Victorianist about my inspo for Irish Eyes, what I’m working on now (hint: it’s the sequel!), and killing my darlings, namely, two prologues, neither of which made it into the final book.
Pop on over to The Secret Victorianist to read the interview, then sign up for Finola’s monthly newsletter to win a copy of Irish Eyes *and* a copy of Finola’s brilliant historical novel, Bronte’s Mistress. One lucky winner will receive both books. Giveaway closes December 7th — the Irish Eyes Release Day!
On March 17, 1899, the Windsor Hotel at 575 Fifth Avenue caught fire, the first smoke and flames billowing from the building just as the city’s annual St. Patrick’s Day parade reached 47th Street. Not even the proximity of the city’s firefighters marching by in their dress blues could save the grand hotel from burning to the ground. Nearly 90 people died, making the Windsor the deadliest hotel fire in New York and the worst commercial disaster until the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire of 1911.

Whether you’re Irish in ethnicity or simply in spirit, I wish you a wonderful day filled with joy, friendship, and fields o’ glorious green.
