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.

My husband Jay is a rather difficult man to get on camera, mostly because when I have my camera in hand, we’re doing something together and I’m taking pictures of that.

But once in a while, I get the chance to take a photo or two of Jay doing the doing, if you will.

This photo was taken in late 2012 in the space that’s now my office and studio. The open cabinet is where my quilt stash lives now. Jay designed this building, did all of the finish work, and made all of the cabinetry.

Happy Father’s Day to the guy who’s still my best friend.
