The Last Book Party!!

June 25, 2022July 3, 2022

Don’t miss my last U.S. book signing for a while! I love my book parties, but I am turning my attention to finishing all my new projects!
I hope you will come celebrate with me!

I lie here on my pink puffy bed in my pink silky pajamas, or pink flannel depending on my mood (the only thing you can bank on is that there will be chocolate smeared somewhere on my attire), with my pink feathered pen, writing my most delicious daydreams.

The Letting Go…
September 18, 2013

Belly Dance to Prepare for Childbirth
September 10, 2022November 15, 2025

“Belly dance is an excellent form of prenatal conditioning.”
