The Letter Read online

  My youngest son has become a phenomenal proofreader and is quite adept at keeping me fed with delectable goodies like éclairs and homemade banana bread. Thank you so much for your help.

  I could do none of this without the support of my husband Leonard. He is amazingly talented at fixing plot holes and un-twisting my ideas when I get stuck. I couldn’t do this without your unabashed support I love you.

  I talk a lot about the Girlfriend Posse in my books. But I have one of my own — Kathern Watts, Kathy Faltinson, Becca Draper-Ristanovic, Brianna Tubbs, Lisa Lee, and Lacie Redding, you guys are without a doubt the best. Thanks for always being in my corner.

  ABOUT THE AUTHOR

  I have been lucky enough to live my own version of a romance novel. I married the guy who kissed me at summer camp. He told me on the night we met that he was going to marry me and be the father of my children.

  Eventually, I stopped giggling when he said it, and we’ve celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary. We have two children. The oldest is a Doctor of Osteopathy. He is across the United States completing his residency, but when he’s done, he is going to come back to Oregon and practice Family Medicine. Our youngest son is in high school. He is an author and plans to be an auto mechanic.

  I write full time now. I have published more than two dozen books and have several more underway. I volunteer my time to a variety of causes. I have worked as a Civil Rights Attorney and diversity advocate. I spent several years working for various social service agencies before becoming an attorney.

  In my spare time, I love to cook, decorate cakes and of course, I obsessively, compulsively read.
