As a jill-of-all single mother, I did whatever was needed and worked some wacky jobs. But I was privileged to work with a legendary jazz promoter producing concerts and festivals. When my son went off to college, I sailed off on boats, working as professional crew on private yachts in the Caribbean. Turning happily to writing I find my sailing days and other travels offer a mine of experiences and fabulous characters, thus parts of my books are often based on true events and real people (hmmm). Recently I retired from producing performance festivals in the historic working seaport of Gloucester, Massachusetts, where I now live.view less
