We’re home from two weeks in Ireland, most of which we spent hiking on the southwest Irish coast. Gorgeous! Here’s a shot of Gleninchaquin falls on the Beara Peninsula. We were there once in winter…it’s a beautiful area anytime of year. I could picture archaeologist Sophie Malone and Boston detective Scoop Wisdom meeting at an [...]
Copper has long played a role in the lives of the people of the southwest Irish coast, and when we ventured to Allihies and the abandoned mines on the tip of the Beara Peninsula, I knew the beautiful scenery and history of the area would play a role in my books. In THE ANGEL, Boston folklorist [...]
THE MIST opens on the southwest Irish coast, but much of the action takes place in Boston, “my” city. I went to college there, lived there and still visit often. In fact, I was there last Thursday! I love to walk through Boston Public Garden, especially in springtime. Here’s a photo we took last spring [...]
THE MIST ‘officially’ goes on sale in paperback today! The story takes place in Ireland, Boston and Maine as amateur spy Lizzie Rush and real spy Will Davenport go after a thrill-seeking billionaire with his own personal hit list. I took this picture of sheep on a misty, windy late December day. We were the [...]
I love the Maine coast and spend a lot of time there. ON FIRE, which starts on a small island off the Maine coast, is back in print in late January with a stunning new cover. It’s a stand-alone story — Riley St. Joe and FBI agent John Straker go after a killer…who just might [...]
COLD RIVER made it to the Jumbo Tron in Times Square. Wish I’d been there to see it! I’m told that 1.5 million people pass through Times Square every day. I hope to be one of them before the end of the year…
Have a great day,
Carla
We had a quiet, if somewhat gloomy, day for Thanksgiving and a wonderful time with family. We thought we’d have snow last night, but we missed it, although other parts of Vermont didn’t. Here’s another “cold river” shot from last winter. I like to stay on trails when I’m out snowshoeing. This scene reminds me [...]
No major snow yet, but soon it will look like this here in Vermont. I tried to capture this atmosphere — the light, the sky, the view — in writing both COLD PURSUIT and COLD RIVER, which debuts tomorrow.
Have a great day,
Carla
I love this time of year in northern New England. It’s so quiet! Here’s another “cold river.” No ice and snow yet, though. Hard to believe that one week from today COLD RIVER will be in stores. I always have a book on hand when I’m preparing for the holidays. I peel some apples for [...]
I’m just back from a long walk on a frosty morning. The gorgeous autumn foliage is off the trees, and the landscape is bare and open. Today’s very quiet. I could hear the river, a few crows in the distance and squirrels scurrying through fallen, dried leaves. There wasn’t even a slight breeze. COLD PURSUIT is [...]
I saw some gorgeous rainbows on my September “retreat” to Ireland, but here’s a Vermont rainbow. We were at peak fall foliage. What a sight! The leaves have fallen now, and it’s quiet here. The leaf-peepers have gone home and the skiers haven’t yet arrived. I love the quiet, but I also enjoy having tourists [...]
We love watching wild turkeys parade through our yard on our hilltop here in Vermont. I’ll stop work on a book and watch them from our deck or screened porch.
This is a work-in-progress, but I figured I’d dive in and figure it out as I go along. I’m just back from a remarkable two weeks in Ireland to write and do research for my work-in-progress, THE WHISPER. The people, the music, the food, the long walks in the countryside–everything was fantastic. I had rain, [...]
