Join me and the Malverne Public Library on Thursday, March 21st at 7:00 P.M. as we celebrate Women’s History Month AND the 200th Anniversary of Pride and Prejudice.

It’s sure to be a delightful evening as we discuss the heroines of Austen’s six completed novels:  Elizabeth Bennet, Anne Elliot, Fanny Price, the Dashwood sisters, Emma Woodhouse, and Catherine Morland (plus a few non-Austen heroines that are just too brilliant to be ignored).

Joining us this year will be friend and musician, Kelly Tanza AND friend and thespian, Maureen Rogers.  

Be sure to reserve a seat here!

Also….tea will be served.

No joke.  What’s Austen without a nice cuppa tea?

As a writer, I sometimes (meaning, every minute of the day) need to be motivated.  I need inspiration.  Don’t we all?

Well, this time, my own words will play a part in that motivation, thanks to Chicken Soup for the Soul.   My personal story of motivation (in terms of writing, that is) is included in the new Chicken Soup for the Soul: Inspiration for Writers along with stories from numerous other published (budding and bestselling) writers.
