Hello readers! My latest work, One Sweet Christmas, is now available, and guess what? It made its grand entrance in February. If you’re wondering why a Christmas story now, the answer is simple: the magic of the season isn’t confined to December. This isn’t just any holiday tale.

World Pizza Makers Day
The pizza in the photo above is a pizza I made. When I made this pizza, I had no idea there was a day celebrating pizza makers. I make my own dough, but I use pre-made sauce. My family loves my pizza. But whether you pull out a frozen pizza and pop it in the […]
