Today, I'm the featured writer in Joan Dempsey's Gutsy Great Novelist Writers Studio. Here's my response to the question: When did you first realize you wanted to write a novel? Was there a particular person or experience that inspired you?

​My younger sisters' bedroom adjoined mine, with nightly consequences. I invented a communication code and taped it to the back walls of our side-by side closets. Long after we were supposed to be asleep, I'd go into the closet and communicate with them through a series of special knocks. Taking two flashlights, I crawled into the dark hallway and shone lights on the back wall of their bedroom. The wild, invented stories began. Often, they were inspired by a children's novel I'd just read. It was important to keep this a secret from our parents, who'd ruin all the fun if they knew!

Knock, knock. Time for a story.

Hanukkah celebrations

Attending a Hanukkah celebration was a  new opportunity for me. I recently participated with friends in a candle lighting ceremony. Such a moving and powerful experience. The crowd attending the party was a mixed group - of various backgrounds and religious beliefs. Yet, everyone felt included and welcomed.  The prayers for a peaceful planet were ones that we all felt were important.  My little story about seeing candles in a window while I drove alone on a dark, wintery road resonated with others.  

The light of a candle can pierce the darkness and gloom.  

May be all be a candle light to others - wherever we are.
