Why I Wrote The Sarah’s Landing Series The answer to that question isn’t as easily answered as one would think. I guess it all started when one of my co-workers said I should be writing books. When I asked her why, she said because I have a way with words and that I was supposed to write. “Who said so?” I asked. She just smiled and repeated her statement. “It’s something you should be doing,” she added,” but you are too chicken to even try.” I laughed, shook my head, said she was “nuts” and went back to work. Lunch time was over. However, after a while, say several weeks, her comments did pique my curiosity. I wondered for a crazy moment if I could actually sit down and put words on paper that had a story line to it. But the thought was fleeting and so it passed. It seemed that after that conversation, we crossed paths constantly, more so than we ever did. All she would do is smile and pretend to scribble in the air on an invisible piece of paper, pointing to what she was doing and to me, nodding her head that that is what I should be doing. I just laughingly shook it off and walked on. One very hectic morning, after struggling with my computer, I sat back, lit a cigarette … yes I used to smoke … and began to relax for a few moments before tackling my next objective. As I casually watched the smoke from my cigarette curl and float up towards the corner of my office wall, I started to wonder where it went. Did it pass through the walls and then travel down through the spaces between the finished wall and the frames? Did it go further on down through the basement floor and weave its way to the subterranean earth and into a cave or a world that existed beneath my feet? I didn’t know, but I pondered that journey and began to put the words down on paper. Several weeks later, working on this project off and on, I suddenly discovered that I had written four chapters. Someone told me once that if you manage to get by the first three chapters you were on your way to a book. My husband had been watching me off and on for those weeks and finally asked me what I was doing. I said I was writing a story. He asked why, and I said, because. I asked him to read the four chapters I had already written. What he didn’t know was that his answer would determine whether I completed the book or not. When he had finished reading the chapters I gave him, he looked up and asked, “Where are you going with this?” I said I didn’t know. “Well,” he said, “Even though I may regret saying this,” he paused momentarily as if making up his mind before continuing, then said he thought it was good. With my husband’s encouragement I wrote Sarah’s Landing-I, and went on to write the entire series of four books. Because I stopped smoking, I decided to take that part of the story out and instead of the deep recesses of the earth I went for the far reaches of space. I hope I have intrigued you enough to want to buy a copy of my book, and that you will have as much fun reading it as I did writing it. Thank you

Ever since I was a kid growing up in the Hudson Valley, storytelling was how I made sense of the world. I was always drawn to the quiet moments—the hidden dramas playing out behind closed doors, the secrets teenagers carried in their backpacks, the complexity of growing up in a town that looked perfect from the outside but held so much tension underneath. What truly inspired me to start writing seriously was a combination of personal reflection and creative urgency. I had stories inside me—about identity, longing, faith, and defiance—that I didn't see represented in mainstream books. Writing gave me a voice, especially during moments when I felt voiceless. My background in digital cinematography helped me visualize scenes vividly, while my MFA in Creative Writing gave me the tools to shape them with depth and honesty. Catholic School Boys in Trouble grew from a desire to revisit those formative years with both raw truth and artistic beauty. I wanted to write something that felt real—messy, vulnerable, and unforgettable.

Absolutely! My latest novel is Catholic School Boys in Trouble: The Book of Blair, and it's the most personal installment in the series yet. This book pulls back the curtain on Blair Cohen’s life before he ever stepped foot inside St. Ignatius. It's about a sensitive, artistic boy trying to survive the chaos of adolescence in a small Hudson Valley town—navigating identity, heartbreak, betrayal, and the weight of being different in a world that expects conformity. Blair was always a fan favorite in the series, and I knew he deserved more than just backstory—he deserved a whole book. We follow him through high school at Clarkstown North, where a painful betrayal leads to his transfer to the Catholic school that changes everything. What I love most is how raw, poetic, and painfully relatable his story is. It’s about growing up queer, misunderstood, and defiant. This book stands on its own, but also deepens the emotional stakes of the larger series. For anyone who's ever felt like an outsider or kept their true self hidden, The Book of Blair will speak directly to your soul.

I've always loved to write, but my employment path took me in a different direction until age 51, when I was able to put my passion for writing into play to see where it could possibly take me. I enjoy letting my imagination run wild, and it has served me well.

My latest book is Return to Autumn Part 2, which is the concluding novel in my Autumn Trilogy consisting of The Perils of Autumn, Return to Autumn, and Return to Autumn Part 2. The story takes place in the early 70's in Kentucky in a posh, fictional area outside Lexington known as The Meadows, where you find the celebrated Landon Lawns Stables, winner of many equestrian awards including a Triple Crown winner. Young, newly graduated RN Autumn Leeves, is sent to Landon manor to care for the terminally-ill wife of English Horsemaster Cyril Landon. Duff Taylor, world renown jockey who is tops in his field, lives fulltime above the tack room at Landon Lawns and enjoys the many benefits it brings, but he also has a dark secret surrounding an unsolved racing incident from his past that he will go to any length to protect. Autumn arrives to Landon Manor in time to be thrown into the fray, and finds herself caught in the ongoing disruption that ensues.

One night I was having dinner at a Brazilian restaurant and a couple walking down the stairs tripped and fell. I thought to myself if those, if those two would go back in time for a minute, and avoid what happened they would. Time Travel… Since I was a kid back in the eighties I was fascinated by that idea, and at that night I went back home and wrote my first novel The Clout of Gen. Despite it not gaining traction but to me it was the start to it all. An interesting time-travel mystery set in Japan.

A tale of greed, art and an ongoing decades love story. The Art collector of Le Marais is a tale set in Paris, spans through decades, full of Art history and passion.

Leading law publishers invited me to write a textbook on Bank Security Documents - a subject in which I was an expert. This book is now in its 7th edition.

The Girl Who Disappeared is closely based on what happened to my parents during World War 2. Chapters before I was born are based on family hearsay - hence the reason the book is fiction.

I’ve loved stories in rhyme since childhood, especially Thomas the Tank Engine, Winnie the Pooh and Dr Seuss. My grandad recited a humorous soccer poem to me as a boy, and now I enjoy sharing stories in rhyme with my grandchildren. Seeing their eyes light up when I read aloud inspired me to start writing my own books—some faith-based, some just plain fun—to capture those moments for other families too.

My latest book is The Big Bad Wolf’s Birthday, a humorous sequel to the classic tale of The Three Little Pigs. This time, the pigs and the wolf are older, wiser, and celebrating a birthday rather than feuding. It’s a fun, rhyming story with a happy twist that makes kids (and adults) laugh—my grandkids love hearing it at bedtime. I illustrated this book myself using watercolors, many of them done in the airport or on the plane flying back to visit my mom in the last month of her life. My original images are signed with flight details and/or locations.

My real name is Anahit but my pen name is Anhait (unknown). I am always inspired by life to write, but I also use my imagination to make my works attractive. As a poetess I write my prose poetically with metaphors, allegorical expressions and philosophical depth.

My latest book is a memoir. It is based on my own and my ancestors' memories.

I've been creating stories in my mind since I was a child, finding a rare kind of freedom in the ability to live other lives and feel things beyond my own. At fifteen, I started putting those worlds on paper, a private act of liberation that was, for a long time, enough. But as the stories grew, so did a new, more profound need: the desire to share them. To see if the worlds I built in my head could find a home in someone else’s. Now, decades later, I still write for that same sense of creative freedom, but also because I want to put those parts of myself to the test of being communicated, and even judged. First, it's a process that's purely mine. Then, it's about connecting and sharing that piece of me with others.

I'm an incurable romantic, but not just for the heart-pounding kind of love. I'm searching for something enduring in a world constantly in turmoil. Whether it’s a global conflict or a personal crisis, I want to explore how we find our footing when the ground beneath us is shifting. I believe the truth of people and their choices is never black or white. It's found in the gray areas of identity, morality, and perception. It's here, in the moral ambiguity of life, that I explore how love—not just a love between two people, but a love and acceptance of ourselves and others—becomes a sustaining power. World War II is the perfect backdrop for this. It's close enough to resonate with our modern crises, but distant enough to be explored with a clearer vision. In that world of turmoil, I want to show how love, in its many forms, is the truest act of resilience.

The question of science first encouraged me to enter the world of study and writing. At that time, I used to think and write about science. After that, I gradually entered the world of literature. Although my father had a penchant for writing, I may have inherited it.

I can't really judge anything by the latest book. For example, I have written many books on geometry, new ideas in physics, science fiction, mystery, or love, and it is not possible for me to single out one of them as good. However, in literature, I like science fiction a little more. in these, scientist BINI and Teaven Gurdemo is favorite.

I wanted to be a writer ever since I could remember. I think I chose this path as a young girl because I could not communicate clearly, and I wanted to be understood. Learning the art and craft of writing helped me to communicate with clarity.

My latest book is non-fiction. It is called Quiet Power and Subtle Influence: The Art of Leading with Emotional Intelligence. I wrote it in a burst of inspiration. It delves deeply into how leaders communicate to establish and maintain their authority.
