Under Reconstruction!

Hi all!

I'm back after a brief absence to do a little writing, reviewing, and reconstruction–both on this site, my career, and, interestingly, myself.

First off: Many, many thanks to those of you who've written to tell me you read Cherries in Winter. Your words are what keep me going, so thank you beyond thank yous!!

Next: The reconstruction, which I've also heard called "a reinvention" and "a mid-life crisis." You'll notice a few changes on the site (including that VERY flattering photo of me on the home page, which was taken by The Hubbins!). These changes are going to reflect the next stage of what's going on with me, which is writing fiction. I think I said everything I had to say about myself and my family in Cherries, for now, anyway, and most of my writing has been good ol' fashioned made-up stuff (with the exception of an essay in Whole Living Magazine's June issue–big thanks to my editor, Geraldine Sealey!). I'll keep you posted as to what's going on with my novel, which was just completed–WOO HOO!!–the other day.

Also under construction is, ahem, moi. No, I'm not getting new boobs to go with that sexy blowout in the photo. I've just reached that "special" time in life where my body and my mind can't agree on my level of maturity. Hijinx have ensued. I'll be blogging about some of those developments, and what I intend to do about them (most plans involve kicking and screaming).

That's it, and enough, for now. Many thanks for visiting, and see you soon!

xx,
