I don’t know about you, but I love books, especially women’s fiction, and I’m always searching for the next great story to read (or write!) that will move me to laughter or tears or simply speak to that quiet, contented place in between. My favorite stories have one thing in common: they’re stories about women—young, old, and middle aged. These are the women I write. I celebrate with them, I cry with them, and I count them as life-long friends. I hope you will too.
