The date, written above, seems to call out: who are you now? and who do you wish to become?

Once upon a time, I wrote novels, and they were published.

No Regrets (Dial Books for Young Readers)
My Beautiful Fat Friend (Crosswinds)
Monday’s Child (HarperCollins)
The Dewey Decimal System of Love (NAL/Putnam)
My Very Own Murder (NAL/Putnam)

Then I wrote novels, and they were not published. Hard times for all of us, including novelists!

Now, I take the long view. In 2010, I have begun work on a trilogy of novels entitled The Rabbi’s Mother. Book One, “Shema.”

I am a divorced woman, approaching sixty, who has cut off all her hair and allowed it to be its natural color. I have a partner, a man who has reached sixty, in whom I find great delight. My children are grown and launched. I live in a large apartment in the Cleveland Park area of Washington D.C.
