Autorenporträt
I have a degree in journalism and have self-published two novels, Between Courses: A Culinary Love Story and Annie's Heaven, as well as a collection of short stories, Knotted Pearls. As the mother of an adult son with autism, I know firsthand the joys and sorrows of living with someone on the spectrum. My story is fiction, but I have peppered it with some of the wonderfully odd idiosyncrasies of my twenty-four year old son. It is my hope that readers will see my story as a tender look at a strong and lively woman fiercely devoted to family.
