Romance was becoming hugely popular so I picked that genre. dissertation, but I needed to use the library at Yale and we couldn’t afford a baby sitter. I missed discussing books with my fellow teachers in the English Department Office. Before my marriage I taught high school English, a job I relinquished when the baby came along (yes, that’s what we did back in the day). I had just had my first baby and I didn’t know anyone in my new neighborhood. However, it wasn’t until I married and moved to Connecticut that I wrote my first novel.

Unfortunately, we lived in the Bronx and knew nothing about either Wyoming or horses. Since we had devoured Mary O’Hara’s books about a boy and his horse in Wyoming, we decided we would write a book about a girl and her horse in Wyoming. My first attempt came the summer I was ten, when a girlfriend and I decided we would write a book. When I was a child I wanted to be a writer.
