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.

Friday Photos

Some folks create out of chaos, some out of organization.

Me, I’m the organizational type. I make chaos while in the midst of a project but as soon as it’s done, I clean up. This happens in my writing life as well as life-life, if you know what I mean.

With Thieves of Fire off my plate, for the moment, I needed to make a new header with the book’s final cover so I’ve been rummaging around in my photos to try out some header possibilities.

Rummaging is a good word for it, I guess. What I’m really trying to do is figure out what my kayaking-on-Grafton-Pond photos are doing in six different locations.

So in no particular order, here are some of my favorite pix, rediscovered as I rummaged along.
