Welcome         

       Thank you for stopping by to learn more about me and my Young Adult novel, Isabella's Libretto. 
         Isabella is a spirited, ambitious orphan who plays cello in Antonio Vivaldi's remarkable all-female orchestra in Venice, Italy, in 1715. On one hand,  Isabella is bitter because her mother abandoned her years ago, but on the other, she is alight with a passion for her musical talent  that is nurtured within  the Ospedale della Pieta'.
Isabella's "little story" is one of friendship, loss, betrayal,
​ and ultimately, claiming one's destiny.
(For ages 12 and up)

A "gem of a book" that  "celebrates the beauty of       music..."                               --The Historical Novel Society

Isabella's Libretto is now available at St. Mary's Bookstore in Nashville's West End, and may be ordered through Parnassus Books in Nashville. 

Amazon also has Isabella's Libretto--paperback and Kindle editions.
