Thank heaven for wonderful family and friends, writing and flower gardening.

What’s keeping you going during this hide-away pandemic?

I’ve been creating and cleaning up the manuscript of Overalls, Pinafores, and Pigtails – The story of a young girl growing up in a Norwegian community on a Wisconsin tobacco farm.

In my previous novels, I wove a make-believe mystery with make-believe characters in a real setting. Now, with this story, I have a character based on true stories within a fixed historical setting.

For me this is a true learning experience since I did not grow up on a farm, knew nothing about growing tobacco and must think through the mind of my main character, Hattie.

And, talk about critique check!

I currently live in a community that grew up on farms, raised tobacco and lived the life. Lots of neighbors to help as I get my mind around the inside view of growing up in the 1940’s and knowing farm practices and farm machinery.


Fun sharing their memories and translating into words on the page the lives of people who lived and created delightful family happenings on the land and from the land.
