About Me

Married, three children, one Yorkshire Terrier, one Yorkshire TERROR, a very supportive husband, and let's not forget one scary Amazon parrot who shares our lovely home on Chesapeake Bay.

WEARING THE HOOP

Oh yes, it was wonderful to step into the past and especially into my favorite time period. What did I learn from prancing around in a hooped Civil War era evening gown at our local Historical Society fashion show? That 19th century women of class had to (very carefully) choose their fabrics for dresses! Mine weighed a ton, or so it felt. None-the-less, a hoop is a lovely, airy and lightweight undergarment, not to mention the beautiful vision it creates!

Working hard on Tanglewood II, Cherry's story. Some writers write fast and never look back until 'The End'.  Not this one. The first 100 pages of TP II will now be scrutinized by these eyes, and seriously tweaked. This is how I weave my story; reading, editing and re-reading until the words rolls from the lips like melted butter...smooth.
