About Me

I'm an artist and a writer. My novel S.A.D. is set in Maine, where I live with my English husband, our two kids and a dog. Last year I blogged from England. The material will become a new novel, NOT CRICKET, set at Oxford University. Visit my website to see my artwork and to read more about my novels in the works. My photo is by Catherine Ferdinand.
