In late 2018, I retired from a thirty-year career in healthcare. Typical Type A's like me struggle with retirement, but I didn't. I had always wanted the time to write, read and study.

​

I had many ideas about what I would do with my writing at that time. At first I wanted to write about what retirement felt like; to climb inside its warm embrace. After all, I had a job of one type or another since I was 13 (worked as a clerk in a bakery), plus motherhood (at 26), and had no idea what free time felt like. So, I opened my eyes to this more slow motion world, gave myself time to absorb, and lo and behold, began bubbling over with observations to share.

​

Initially, The Space Between was intended to represent the time interval after a full-time career and before the advanced years. Later, as I got serious about writing a historical novel, the scope of my musings (thus the name change to Musings) broadened to include historical insights as well. I'm hoping the topics I chose to write tickle your interest as much as mine.

​

So much has changed since those early days of blogging/newletters. I am now a legit author of a popular, award winning series. Book Four, MAYHEM IN THE MOUNTAINS, a finger-biting ride through the Catskills in 1924, takes our beloved Isaacson family through the little known dangers of that region in the Roaring 20's. But mostly, my ovarian cancer has been on the march, another deadly foe in my real and literary life. For now, I am determined to complete my next book, IMAGINE (working title) that skips forty years to the early 1970's. I have almost completed the first draft and love it. This historical, (autobiographical) thriller takes Sharon (a fictional member of the family) to the University of Michigan campus after an all but disasterous second half of high school, only to face a serial killer based on the real Michigan Murderer. The genre is new for me, but terribly exciting! The release date is June, 2027.
