About MAL’s Blog
The Lady Who Lunches started as a simple concept - Me, the American lady, traveled to England to live with my boyfriend, the Englishman and became a lady of leisure - i.e. "a lady who lunches." Since this lady can't sit still for more than 10 minutes at a time, I wrote a novel. A year and a half passed and we're now back in the United States. Next adventure - traveling for two months around the states, selling novel, finding apartment, job and moving to Chicago.I Also Write Here

When the Sun Shines in England.
Saturday was one of those days England could have gotten no better. Woke up in Portsmouth at the parent-in-laws, popped over to Jocko’s sister’s house to tell her the news. Held her newborn baby and rocked her to sleep. Drove … Continue reading
The Barge
Waking up on Saturday morning to the cold, cold rain was dismal. Even if we were on a boat. The dry air of the heater blasted on our feet as we sat and drank our cups of tea. One brother … Continue reading
