About Me

I live in Purcellville, Virginia and am married with 2 adult daughters. My husband Chris and I are both retired, and spend a lot of our time on projects in and around our 1791 farmhouse and gardens (check out our newsletter!). We are both avid readers as well. I also enjoy knitting, weaving, gardening, cooking/baking, and music of just about any genre.

I read mostly fiction and especially enjoy books by and about women, prizewinners, and classics (including Virago Modern Classics & Persephone Classics). I also enjoy intelligent, well-written mystery and suspense novels. I don't read as much non-fiction as I should but definitely appreciate narrative non-fiction and memoirs.
