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.

The Parkinson’s Comfort Project held its second annual Piecing for Parkinson’s Day on February 7.

The term “rousing success” doesn’t quite cover the wonderful turnout we had of kind, generous, creative, funny, skilled quilters who came to sew from Vermont and New Hampshire.

Not all of the projects that were started that day are complete but I wanted to show off some of the quilts donated to the Parkinson’s Comfort Project that day. So sit back and enjoy the Show and Tell!
