I have been a professional writer since 1987. I've written for newspapers, magazines, worked in the book publishing industry, and published novels and non-fiction books. In addition, I've guided numerous authors through the process of independent publishing, and offer workshops in that same vein. I'm the founder of the Parkinson's Comfort Project and over the course of six years, we gathered and gave away over 500 handmade quilts to people with Parkinson's disease.

Houses Left Behind

This is part two of the excerpt started last week from the next Carding novel, Lights in Water, Dancing.

I thought it appropriate for this time of year because there are ghosts and then there are Ghosts, Part II.

You know what I mean.

So glad you have come to visit. Here’s a sample of what’s to come.
