This might've been a clue. *For my entire childhood, as far as I recall, every Sunday afternoon

That's the whole town, not the hamlet. There I was, a young mother with five little girls each one a little smaller than the one before. I was a young, stay-at-home mom with a dream. I wanted to be a writer. I thought I was pretty good. I'd found a local group of writers, the Central New York Romance Writers w

This is stuff I'm not supposed to discuss with my readers. I'm discussing it with you anyway. I don't want to just tell you where to find my books, I want to tell you why, because it impacts you directly as a reader. This is stuff you need to know, I think. I've been making my living writing fiction since 1993, and that's a very rare and fortunate thing. I'm deeply appreciative of this. But there are all sorts of pitfalls one doesn't see from the outside, and I thought you mi

NURSES When someone I loved almost died, nurses took them from my arms into their own. They scrambled and they were flat out pros. They knew exactly what to do do and how to do it, and they saved that precious life. When I was a fifteen-year-old, pregnant child in labor, told I’d have to have a C-section, I was terrified.
