Last year, Friends Journal decided to do a fiction issue for the first time. This year they decided to do it again, and I’m excited that my story, “Welcome,” is in it. If you have a few moments, please check out my very short, short story. You’ll catch a quick glimpse of William Penn.
I wrote about my first Historical Novel Society Conference on my blog recently. A shorter version of my story appears on the HNS website. Check it out to read about my closet of sustainability and “what not to wear!”
Are you ready for Christmas? My interfaith love story “The Feast of the Seven Quiches” is in this year’s Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Spirit of Christmas. Find out what happened when my Jewish husband first visited my family for Christmas, expecting an all-out Italian celebration and getting a WASP/Quaker one! The book is now on sale (as of 10/14/25) wherever you buy books, including Barnes & Noble and Walmart: https://www.chickensoup.com/book/the-spirit-of-christmas
