It was years ago that I first met editor, Jonell Galloway - on-line - and discovered we shared a huge chomping love of France, culinary worlds and words, and traveling adventures.
I am very grateful for her interest in and publishing my work, the first chapter of my novel, A Hundred Years of Becasse, a tale of woodcocks, mushrooms, and a very special French Inn.

Publications
Traveling very lightly, I left behind many things I normally bring along.
Dressy clothes.
Laptop. (this is the third time I've written this on my I-phone and its getting shorter and shorter.)
Uncomfortable but pretty, shoes.
Over the years I have kept and fed bowls of levain from all manner of millet and figs. grapes and fresh cherries..and I am guilty too. Of too much. If i was eating, I fed my levain. I fed my levain almond flour and chestnut flour.. until it practically gurgled in protest; Arret!
