I'm excited to have finished my latest manuscript Denim & da Vinci!
Following a spectacular meltdown, Maddy McBride, a burnt-out Santa Fe artist, runs off to Italy to search for a lost love only to find amongst the ghosts and ruins what she had been missing all along.
Denim & da Vinci (complete at 94,000 words) is a contemporary women's fiction novel. It will appeal to those who love Italy, Renaissance art, and roads less traveled. The book is full of heartbreak, humor, and magical realism, similar to "One Italian Summer" by Rebecca Serle.
