About the author

"Writing is rewriting," so said my teacher John Bowers. And I have lived by that lesson for more than 35 years. When I finished a draft of a book, it is just that, words on paper. It may be a story, it might even be a good story, but it is not writing. Writing, at least for me, takes numerous drafts until I am pleased with the finished work, that the sentences are lyrical, that the pace is perfect, and that the ending has just the right punch. That is writing.

Reviews

[Natasha]

Good idea for a book but it didn't read very well, wasn't consistent and some parts of the story were irrelevant.

[Alan Winter]

A parent's worth nightmare: are you sure the child you brought home from the hospital is yours?
