I live in my "Enchanted Cottage" on Cape Cod where my studio is filled with canvases, an easel, bookshelves, computer and printer, and a table covered with manuscript pages and folders. My days are filled with words and colors, paints and the sea. Cape Cod, the most magical of places, is conducive to solitude and creativity. My novels and canvases begin with one thought: "What if..." Both are filled with light. I wrote my first book, "Me 'n God in the Coffee Shop" at a local coffee shop. At the time I ran a graphics studio from my home and would take breaks from work to sit at the coffee shop
