Sometimes all it takes is the right sentence, and everything flows. Today the scene that has been stuck in my craw dislodged itself and out came 1,500 words. Now I’m going to go play with fabric.
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).
Wow, that must be quite a feeling. I’m happy for you. (and I’m selfishly pleased, too, because that’s 1500 words closer to whatever book it was you were working on.)
