WelcomeSince the publication of my last book in 2009, I have been writing essays and doing research for another biography. Three decades after the first publication of Portrait of an Artist: A Biography of Georgia O'Keeffe, it is now in an e-book edition. My most recent book, Westover: Giving Girls a Place of Their Own is also available in an e-book version. Besides writing books, I publish personal essays, book reviews, and articles in journals, newspapers, and books, including Fourth Genre: Explorations in Nonfiction, The Journal of the Southwest, and From the Faraway Nearby: Georgia O'Keeffe as Icon. My volunteer activities include serving on the board of the Hotchkiss Library of Sharon, Connecticut. I am chairing the library's Fifteenth Sharon Summer Book Signing, which will be on Friday, August 5th, 2011, from 6 to 8 pm. Authors and book buyers will gather under big white tents on the library's lawn to celebrate reading and writing and to raise money for the library. A member of the Authors Guild, I live with my husband, artist Robert Kipniss, in Westchester County, New York and in northwestern Connecticut. My literary agent is Charlotte Sheedy at the Charlotte Sheedy Literary Agency. She may be reached at 212-780-9800 or at charlotte@sheedylit.com. |
