Birthright
Dear Readers,
'Where there's a will, there's a relative' is a very apt statement. I wrote Birthright, because I wanted to explore, among other things, the tricky topic of family and money. Is inheritance a right or a privilege ? How do sibling rivalries and parental favorites impact on decisions? If one adult child is rich, does this mean they inherit less? And what happens when an elderly parent starts to fail and is open to coercison? I've also thrown in a struggling marriage, an estranged sister , a sister-in-law and one of the nicest men I've ever written, along with one of the worst. I hope you enjoy spending time with Ellie, Sarah and Anita as they navigate their lives, their family ties and a matriarch who isn't who she seems.
Happy Reading!

Birthright is Free for a Limited Time!
Dear Lovely Northern Hemisphere Readers,
I know you're doing it tough with winter and Covid-19 so to let you know I'm thinking of you, I'm giving away the eBook version of Birthright my women's fiction/family novel for a very limited time. You can grab at at Amazon, Apple Books Google Play, Barnes and Noble and Kobo.
So what's it about? "Where there's a will, there's a relative," said Roger Karshner. Very true! Birthright is my novel about a family, who among other things, are behaving badly over money. Three very different adult siblings, all with children of their own, have an aging mother and after years of living away, the eldest son and youngest daughter return to small town Mingunyah. Sarah is the eldest by nine months, but has always been overshadowed by her brother, Cameron, who is their mother, Margaret's, favorite. Ellie was a difficult teenager and no one can see the adult she has become. Cameron believes his father's early death denied him the family business and feels owed. Everyone has their own set of relationship issues of their own and then there is Margaret - a matricarch in the true sense of the word.
When Margaret's health deteriorates will long-held secrets and childhood rivalries smash this family into pieces?
I hope you enjoy Birthright.
Best wishes,
