Pieces from Life's Crazy Quilt - Winner of the 2001 African American-Authors Helping Authors Best Nonfiction Book Award. The story of why, and how, the author wrote and published the book is as fascinating as the memoir itself. The essence of the story was captured in an article written by Dr. Deborah Smith Pollard, and published in the July 2002 issue of the Gospel Today Magazine. So pour yourself a cup of coffee, sit back, and enjoy.

I was born in Havana, Cuba, the eldest child of two very young parents. My mother’s family was from Poland and Russia and they spoke Yiddish, while my father’s family was from Turkey and spoke Judeo-Espanyol. The marriage of my parents, a polaca and a turco, was a merging of two different Jewish civilizations that were constantly clashing.

I have been a reader all my life. When I was young, someone was always telling me to "get your nose out of that book." Now, I've taken my love of reading and I'm writing the kind of books I love to read. Adventure, mystery, romance, science fiction. I met my own hero on a blind date thirty-plus years ago and we have two grown children. We're Midwesterners through and through. Our children live in Indianapolis and Cleveland. After following my husband's job from the Detroit-area to Missouri, southwest Michigan, and Chicago-land, we now reside in Mid-Michigan.
