About Me

I'm an author. My first novel, AFTER THE DANCE, was published in April of 2008 by Dafina/Kensington. My second novel, A NATURAL WOMAN is scheduled for publication in November of 2009.

Why don't you ever wear a scarf? It doesn't need to be cold outside for your neck to feel naked.

Shows how much you know. I do wear scarves, all the time. Of course, I generally wear mine over my head rather than around my neck.
