This morning, I went to the website for Dreamscapes, a Canadian travel and lifestyles magazine for which I wrote a food article in September, and there it was in the winter/spring 2012 issue! My piece is on sustainability in farming and fishing. Here's the link to my piece directly: http://magazine.dreamscapes.ca/RIDE/viewer.aspx?id=13&pageId=1&lang=&lid=0 and here's the link to the current issue of the magazine: http://magazine.dreamscapes.ca/default.aspx?bhcp=1

My first novel, Under the Linden Tree, is soon to be released by EnCompass Editions in print and e-book format!

Bio:
A freelance writer of features and essays since 1991, I've been leading writing groups, formally and informally, since 1998. I have published short fiction in Philadelphia Stories, and memoir in Parlor Journal, the latter piece nominated for a Pushcart Prize. With an MFA in Creative Writing from Rosemont College, I teach freshman composition at Drexel University, Saint Joseph's University, do private one-on-one consultation with adult writers. My historical novel, Under the Linden Tree, has been published by Encompass Editions, and has won its 2009 Novel of Promise Award.
