Next to being a mother, I feel it's my most important job. Okay, I have to pay the bills another way (and I love that job, too), but having the urge to write still excites me, and has since I was about 12 years old.(less)

A warm welcome!

Yesterday saw a wonderful gathering of local Rockport residents and guests at the Linden Tree Inn Bed & Breakfast who came to my reading and...bought books! I betray my newly hatched novelist glee by being surprised about it all.
