Biography

Writing has always been a passion of mine from the very first time I picked up a pencil. Telling stories has always been in my blood; there have always been great tellers of tales in my family, whether it was my grandmother passing on a family store or distant relatives publishing their own. Yes, my claim to fame is being related to the Lowells of Boston - James Russell Lowell, Amy Lowell and Robert Lowell. So I’m not kidding when I say that writing is in my blood. Though I started out writing just for me, somewhere along the way I came to realize that others might be interested in what I have to write. It started with family and friends, then teachers, but still, it took some time to convince myself to pursue publication. It has been quite a journey, culminating in the publication of my first book, Nora’s Soul. Here’s to continuing the journey.

Inspiration

I was inspired to write by my family. I grew up listening to these fantastic stories my grandmother told about her mother, grandmother and extended family and I always thought they would make wonderful books (still do - maybe some day). Interesting enough, I am still inspired by my family as much of what I write has its basis in something that happened to someone in my family.
