Happy Summer 2025, everyone! June is in full swing!
I am pleased to announce that my newest collection of short stories has just been published.
Life Lines, Volume II, from Lila House Press, is a continued exploration of what brings us together, keeps us connected, or lets us go.

Like a kite in the wind, we remain grounded or in flight, with the guidance of another or through our own intuitive inclinations. What once carried us can change, depending on the direction of the wind.
Meet yourself in characters who define family in broad terms, from birthright to accidental encounter, in stories that explore the expectations of choice and destiny. In these 12 tales, storylines and characterizations overlap and commingle in both subtle and obvious parlance, finding the common ground we share with others in this fleeting dance of life.
For what is family, but one precious soul fastening onto another, navigating together the vast expanse of the human experience. Within that space, we are all kin
Thank you for your ongoing encouragement and support! Feel free to drop me a line anytime, I love your feedback. You can also write a review of the book on Amazon.com, which is always greatly appreciated.
Enjoy your summer,
Mary
