I am excited to announce that I have now published my first novel. It is entitled, “Mary Laing.”

While crossing the Atlantic in a wooden packet in 1855, Mary Laing writes a series of letters to her stepdaughter, Frances “Fannie” Laing, left behind in Scotland. The letters provide an account of the traumatic voyage endured by Mary and her family, as well as chronicle Mary’s own emotional odyssey along the way.

Forty years later, Mary reads those same letters to her granddaughter, almost thirteen-year-old Jessie Laing, hoping the letters prove a salutary guide as she and Jessie make their own hazardous journey, navigating the ocean of their shared grief.

You may order the book from the Lulu bookstore: Mary Laing. The cost there is $25.00 plus $5.69 shipping and $1.38 taxes. Or you may order the book directly from me! I will sign it and ship it to you for $25 plus $5 shipping for up to two books. You may order one or more copies by commenting on this post or by sending me an email or text.

I am thrilled to have completed this novel and am eager to share it with all of you!
