"There are two kinds of people in the world: the ones who listen to 'Body & Soul' and
the ones who can talk right through it."
--Jewel Hailey, Listen
Listen, a jazz novel
A girl singer from Idaho, a cozy club in Manhattan, the spirit of Billie Holiday, and a love story that refuses to end.
Jazz vocalist, Rebecca Kilgore, said "This book is a gem!"
On Our Way to Somewhere:

----------------------------------------------
I am a novelist, poet, playwright and free-lance writer with an M.A. in English/Creative Writing. Besides being a writer, I've done summer stock; run a landscape design company; been up close and personal with gray whales, petting them off the coast of Baja California; dined with Vincent Price; taught risktaking seminars; owned a consulting business that took me all kinds of interesting places where my hard hat was required; churned out big technical proposals; developed and taught a variety of business and organizational seminars; learned to juggle; raised two beautiful daughters; and hung out in jazz and blues establishments on both coasts whenever possible.
I believe what author Louis Auchincloss wrote about a writer's life being his or her capital, and I've tried to gather as much of that capital as possible for my writing.
In 1995, I was a Fellow at the Fishtrap Writers Conference in the Wallowa Mountains of eastern Oregon and in 1998, I received the Dibner Fellowship for Fiction awarded by the Maine Community Foundation.
My latest novel, The Greening of Coral McCabe, has just been completed and is making the rounds looking for a publisher.
After teaching as a university writing and literature instructor, I became owner/instructor at Skylark Writing Studio.
I am a native of the Pacific Northwest and live on an island near Seattle.
