October and November were gobbled up by the exigencies of formatting, proofing and polishing,  but with the help and encouragement of husband, family and friends, who proofed, suggested and rescued me from various computer disasters and formatting challenges, I have arrived at this moment, humble and grateful. I am particularly indebted to my talented sister-in-law, Kiki La Porta, who designed this beautiful cover, and to my son Kelsey, whose computer skills were indispensable.

If you want to purchase a copy of my book, you can do so on below by connecting directly to the Create Space store  on my Home page or by copying the URL below. (Create Space, my self-publishing platform,, offers a more generous royalty for the same purchase price than Amazon.) 

If you like my book, please tell your friends about it.  Writing a brief reader's review on Amazon would also help to interest potential buyers.

Hoping that you are finding some balance and joy through your friends and family this holiday season,
Anne
