- My novel The Bird Sisters is forthcoming from Crown Books, a division of Random House, in spring 2011.
Meet the Novel:
When a bird flies into a window in Spring Green, Wisconsin, sisters Milly and Twiss get a visit. Twiss listens to the birds’ heartbeats, assessing what she can fix and what she can’t, while Milly listens to the heartaches of the people who’ve brought them. The two sisters have spent their lives nursing people and birds back to health.
But back in the summer of 1947, Milly was known as a great beauty with emerald eyes and Twiss was a brazen wild child who never wore a dress or did what she was told. That was the summer their golf pro father got into an accident that cost him both his swing and his charm, and their mother, the daughter of a wealthy jeweler, finally admitted their hardscrabble lives wouldn’t change. It was the summer their priest, Father Rice, announced that God didn’t exist and ran off to Mexico, and a boy named Asa finally caught Milly’s eye. And most unforgettably, it was the summer their cousin Bett came down from a town called Deadwater and changed the course of their lives forever.
The Bird Sisters is forthcoming in hardcover from Random House, Spring 2011.

- My girl and I are both criers. I didn't know you were from that area. I drove her out by myself from Chicago. We had a great time. It's so beautiful. The leaves must be on fire by now. Do you ever get to Chicago?
Thanks for being excited about my memoir. I'm excited, too. And I would love to reach out to you to read it as I go. I know this story so well and I can't wait to get it on the screen.

- Good. Crazy. Sleepless. My husband and I are going to visit my daughter at Mt. Holyoke this weekend. I'm hyperbolically excited — it's ridiculous, really. She's never been away from me for this long before, and she'll never be back with me in the same way again. I have also found a writing partner for NaNoWriMo and plan to spit out the first draft of the memoir I alluded to in my Mother Writer essay. Seems like a good way to get going on that project.
Also working on my husband's pet store website and, as a surprise, my sister-in-law and I are working on a POD animal alphabet book to go along with the site launch. I'm pretty excited about it.
How are you?

- Just wait till you do get to the teenage years. You have no idea how true all this crap is. Parents competing through their kids and really losing sight of the fact that they have had their chance. It was also inspiring to me, personally, to keep going, try a new path, don't worry about what other people think of me, never too late to learn and all that.
Glad you found it worthy of some blog reading time.

Cris, I started writing when I finally believed in myself enough and allowed my voice to emerge and trust the process. The piece I'm working on is a one-woman show about mental illness and it was bubbling under the surface for years. It was…
