I'm excited to announce the inclusion of my short story, The Cookie Crumbles, in the crime fiction anthology, THE BEST LAID PLANS coming out this month from Superior Shores Press. In this collection, 21 authors weave stories about plans that don't turn out as intended. Here's the review from Kevin's Corner for my short story:
Big sister Marnie was the family golden child and momma always loved her more. In “The
Cookie Crumbles” by Peggy Rothschild, a plan is baked and put into place. It will be delicious
on so many levels.

Our home rebuilding project is now underway. Our foundation was poured in May and the framing is growing more intricate day by day.

BEFORE....
This is the sight that met us when we returned after the Thomas Fire in December 2017. Our home was gone and steam was still rising from the scorched earth.
AFTER...
The 18 months between the fire and the start of rebuilding were challenging. Though we still have a long way to go, it's bittersweet seeing the house going up again.
