My article "A Midwesterner's Love Letter to Martha's Vineyard" is published in the Spring, 2014 issue of Cape Women Online. While the article is about my novel The Ghosts of Aquinnah, it is also a personal piece about writing, life, loss, and my family history on the island of Martha's Vineyard. To read the article, visit the CWO site here.

I'm one of the sponsor of this year's Spring Fling Scavenger Hunt at Night Owl Reviews. To play along and enter to win lots of great prizes, go on the hunt to fill in the missing words from participating book's blurbs. You can enter to win loads of author created gift baskets, including an ebook bundle from my publisher Ink Smith Publishing. You can win ecopies of my books Polar Night and The Ghosts of Aquinnah as well as the rest of the Ink Smith 2013 catalog. Visit the Night Owl site here to join the fun between now and May 15.

I'm also participating in the A to Z in April Challenge at my writing blog and presenting an A to Z of Martha's Vineyard. All this month I'll be sharing information about the Vineyard, which is the setting of The Ghosts of Aquinnah. In addition, my writing group Untethered Realms is presenting an A to Z of fantastical creatures throughout the month. Visit me here to learn more about Martha's Vineyard and head over to the Untethered Realms blog here to follow along with our creatures. Check out the A to Z blog here to see all of this year's participants.
