I have been writing for most of my life, but never very seriously. Now I am ready to become a little more serious. I am currently working on The Book of Vashti, a retelling of The Book of Esther from the Bible. My other interests include folk music and dance, feminism, Judaism, computers and the sorry state of the world. You may see evidence of these in my writing. I live near Boston with my husband and the detritus left behind by our young-adult children.
