This is a television interview I did for my novel, Bountiful Calling. I knew my time was limited so I first quickly described the plot, which revolves around fracking in Pennsylvania.  I spent the rest of the time talking about the way individuals were impacted by fracking.  Their struggles caused breakthroughs in consciousness, allowing them to becoming more resilient and gain insight into what was really important to them.

I grew up in Queens, New York and wrote fiction up through my 20s. This was my first passion and I returned to it after my children reached their teens years. One of my primary goals in my fiction is to avoid easy answers. This is true when giving emotional interactions in my first novel, The Old Songs, or the ideas swirling about in the action of Bountiful Calling. I try to carefully construct situations and characters so that at a certain point I can let them go to follow their destiny. This gives the reader the opportunity to reflect and decide what's important, what rings with the sound of truth.
