Welcome to the Women's Room!

When I was in grad school, I remember finally finishing my last semester and rushing out of the stuffy university classrooms, where I had been reading hundreds of pages of text, to go to the bookstore with my friends to buy fiction! Not that I have anything against nonfiction – at least forty percent of what I read is nonfiction – but I have a special love for novels, particularly those that feature women.

Since I have just released a novel that relates to women and being best friends, and I have two short stories that will be released by Silver Publishing in May, I wanted to devote my blog to women and women's fiction.

So, fasten your seatbelt. I'm very opinionated and I love to talk about social issues.  More importantly, I'm interested in your take on what's going on.  And if you don't agree with me, all the better! I welcome dissent. I love respectful disagreements.  We are not the Borg on Star Trek! Your opinion is welcome.

In honor of Marilyn French, I'm naming my blog "The Women's Room." I hope that we will never go back to that period in time when women were not allowed to voice their opinions – although it hasn't even been 100 years since women received the right to vote  and in many places in the world, they are still silenced.  But it won't happen here.
