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.

Thursdays are devoted to the Carding Chronicles, short stories and sketches about the small town (population now up to 4,100) just off Route 37 in Vermont.

But don’t bother looking for it on a map. For some reason, mapmakers can’t agree on where it’s located.

This week, it’s the latest news about a literary find that has the entire town buzzing. It seems several people claim to be the rightful heirs to the Victoria Quartermain stories.

You can read the initial news story here. And there are moreCarding Chronicles here.

And if you subscribe, each new story will appear in your inbox every week.

Here’s a sample of what’s in store for tomorrow.
