When I decided to write books I was a stay-at-home mom with four young children.  I’d worked outside the home only briefly and knew shockingly little about being an entrepreneur.

I was a published author writing from home for about ten years before I decided to rent office space.  Immediately I faced major decisions which I felt completely inadequate to make.  To solve that problem I invited six of the most successful professional women I knew to tea at my house and asked them a series of questions.

We had such a good time we decided to continue meeting and formed our own breakfast club.  Our little support group met for over twenty years and became the inspiration for my novel Thursdays at Eight. While my friends have all retired now we still continue to occasionally get together.  What a treasure each one of these ladies has been to me and how grateful I am for their encouragement, advice and support through the years.
