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.

Strawberry Season!!

Strawberries-2 flats-2014Some folks may think that the 4th of July is THE American holiday for apple pie.

But here in Carding, we know that’s absurd because the first apples are a good eight weeks away.

Nope, one of the annual treks from here is to visit the cool folks (Ann and Pooh Sprague) who own Edgewater Farm in Plainfieild, NH.

It’s a bit of a ride but they have great strawberries and a farm stand and greenhouses and…and…hmmm…

I hear a strawberry shortcake calling my name.

Sorry, gotta go.
