I don’t watch much TV, but I took my kids bowling on Good Friday, and there are huge television screens all over our local bowling alley. Most of them were showing the Masters Golf Tournament, but one was playing an interview with the actor Jesse Metcalf. I wasn’t paying much attention, because there was no […]
On the Hunt for Easter Eggs
“Umm, Meghann…” you might be thinking, “Easter is over for this year.” You’re right. It’s over. That doesn’t mean you have to stop hunting for eggs. Now you’re probably really confused. Even if Easter 2023 was still on the horizon, hunting for Easter eggs is a children’s activity. Right? Right. Except when it comes to […]
Spring Has Sprung
This might sound funny coming from someone who grew up slogging through cold Canadian winters, but I’ve always looked forward to fall more than spring. There’s just something very energizing about that “back to school” energy. And the siren song of Hallo-Thanks-Christmas always draws me in. Emily Conrad, author of springtime romance To Belong Together, […]
100 vs. 1
Did you know that e-readers have now been on the scene for twenty-five years? Twenty-five years! That’s a whole quarter of a century! I’m not an early adopter of new technology, so I didn’t get an e-reader until 2007 or 2008 when my husband gave me a Kindle for my birthday. At that time, I […]
Do You DNF?
Until I became a published writer, I had no idea what “DNF” stood for. I didn’t belong to Goodreads. I’d never heard of BookBub. I didn’t check reviews on Amazon or Barnes & Noble before I bought books. After I signed my first publishing contract, though, I quickly made a Goodreads profile. Then I started […]
Christmas Eve Traditions
As a kid, there was almost nothing I liked better than Christmas Eve. The decorations were up. The presents were wrapped. The anticipation was palpable. My family would start the evening by having an early dinner of Tourtière, a French Canadian dish that’s a lot like Shepherd’s Pie except it’s cooked with pie crust instead […]
Ten Terrific Thanksgiving Reads
I dedicated The Baby’s Christmas Blessing to my sister because she inspired some of my heroine’s quirky tastes in food. How quirky, you ask? As a kid, my sister used to mash up her Christmas dinner into a big pile and eat all the different foods—turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy—in one bite, and we used […]

Enjoy! ***** LOCAL NEWS: Ho, ho, ho and happy holidays, folks! Christmas is just around the corner here on Cape Cod, and you know […]

Beach Reads
Do you have a beach where you live? Growing up, I didn’t, but my family would travel to Cape Cod every summer to visit my grandparents, who owned a beachfront inn. For two or three weeks, we’d go to the beach every day, often with a whole cadre of aunts, uncles, and cousins. We’d swim, […]
