Before I forget (again)… there’s a one day writers’ conference coming up in early May that you might be interested in if you’re anywhere near Seattle. I’d tell you all about it, but Susan Wiggs (who is one of the organizers, a great storyteller and a good friend) does a much better job. Hop on over to Swiggs’s place to read all about the Field’s End Writers’ Conference . And if you do happen to make the conference, be sure to introduce yourself.
You've stumbled across my official website and landed on the front page of my weblog.
My name is Rosina Lippi. I'm a former academic and tenured university professor, writing full time since 2000. Under the pen name Sara Donati I am the author of the Wilderness series, six historical novels that follow the fortunes of a group of families living in upstate New York from about 1792-1825. A new series based on later generations of the same families was launched September 1, 2015 with The Gilded Hour. The next volume in the new series, Where the Light Enters, was released in 2019.
Please see the pinned post for an overview of what you'll find on this weblog, and what has been moved to the wiki (including the FAQ page).
Wise Guys
If you are in difficulties with a book, try the element of surprise: attack it at an hour when it isn’t expecting it.
