One of the most refreshing changes I've seen in recent years is the blending of genres - the pushing past the hard-and-fast lines of specific publishing categories.

Like any working mother, I have to balance and manage my time very carefully. My children and husband come first, of course, then my work.

The blues have hope wrapped inside them.

When I'm not writing or working on books as a publisher, I'm doing things that make me happy. One is skiing with my kids and husband. I love sports.

One of the challenges of wearing so many hats, is that I love each and every one of them!

I'm a true opera buff. Operas make the best stories.

As a publisher and author, I'm a big fan of historical fiction and also memoir.
