High school student Kevin Borden has a secret and his name is Louis Lannegan. He also has an overbearing mother. A tale of coming out in the shadow of parents and friends. Award winning novella.
“Every secret of a writer’s soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind, is written large in his works.”
—Virginia Woolf
Background
Information
My first career was working with children and families and I have been a single mother for twelve years. Writing is my second career though I often write about children and families. I write prose, poetry and children's picture books, in addition to my newspaper column and blog. While my poetry has been featured in several anthologies, Broken Buckets is my first novel. Currently I am completing a historical novel set in colonial America. I am co-founder of a non-profit foundation called the Prickly Pear Poetry Project, which is a therapeutic writing workshop for those affected by cancer. I work for the NH Humanities Council as a literacy instructor with new, refugee, and imprisoned adults, and as a teacher. I have been influenced by a great many writers, chief among them Zora Neale Hurston and Margaret Atwood.
