Sunsets inspire me…the changing colours and the way the light envelops me make me believe that anything is possible. It also makes me feel connected to the natural world around me and often inspires my stories or helps me to resolve issues I’ve encountered when pulling a story together.
Lessons in the Afterglow is one of those stories that came out of the sunset over my lakeside property. If you want to read it, you can claim your copy here.

When seventeen-year-old Ethan is sent to rake his great-grandmother’s leaves as punishment, he expects boredom—not a reckoning with loss. But Estelle, ninety-two and fiercely independent, has one more lesson to pass on from the land she’s tended all her life, and from the husband whose carved walking stick still steadies her steps.
Set against an old family homestead and a cliffside view that has watched generations come and go, Lessons In the Afterglow is a quiet, emotionally rich read for lovers of reflective fiction and stories that linger long after the last light fades.
Inside you’ll find:
- A tender intergenerational bond on the edge of change
- A keepsake carved in love—and the legacy it carries forward
- A breathtaking sunset scene that holds a promise
