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.

Sewing with Nancy

Leave a comment

Last summer, the producer of the nationally televised PBS show, Sewing with Nancy, got in touch with the Parkinson’s Comfort Project to ask if we would be willing to talk our efforts on the air.

Does anyone ever say no to a request like that?

No, I didn’t think so.

They sent us a mini television studio in a box about the size of a small air conditioner complete with microphones, tiny camera, laptop, lights, wires and plugs with instructions on how to hook it all up and connect with the folks at Sewing with Nancy via Skype.

The interview, which I did, is now available online. And you can watch it here: Sewing with Nancy interview.

Enjoy!
