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.

Getting Totally Blown Away!!!!!

Bare trees of November for web
For those of you who adore the Winnie-the-Pooh books like I do (the books, not that Disney thing), you’ll recall the story about the very windy day.

Well, we are having one of those. March is having a big blow. Gusts are swooping down the river.

Our bird feeders have been knocked off their hooks and…WE ARE SO HOPING THAT MEANS THAT WINTER IS ON ITS WAY OUT OF HERE!!

Seriously, the whole valley is engaged in one big community whine and we need a change in conversation.

And if my sister posts one more picture from Florida on her FaceBook page,  you will be able to hear me screaming from here.
