Life is Stranger than Fiction. I didn’t make up the weird Parisian apartment in my book. This is what I lived in for 8 months! (Why was the bathroom in the kitchen?!?!)

The French home I loved to visit that inspired Cici’s house. Like in the book, it was always filled with friends, food, great conversation, and incredible music!

It was an honor to perform with the Illinois Symphony Youth Orchestra students today! What a fantastic program for young people! Illinois Symphony Orchestra

My mother and I released our album of the Leclair Sonata featured in my novel. Enjoy!

We had the best time at book launch today!

It’s Book Launch day!! I’d be honored if you would consider reading or listening to my newest release: Sunflowers in Paris. It chronicles much of my time living in France, with a fun romance and the real-life 18th century murder mystery of violinist Jean-Marie Leclair.

Link to the book in comments. Springfield locals, I will have copies available for purchase this Saturday at the book launch party! Enjoy the music and French fun!

Teaching my students about 18th-century music. I think the wig scared them! 🤣

It was such a joy to perform Les Misérables in high school. Now it is fun to share that joy with my daughter. She saw it live yesterday for the first time!
