As of this moment, we have 609 of the 750 pre-orders needed for Inkshares to begin publishing "Nowhere Else I Want to Be." Thank you so much for your support of this project, especially those of you who ordered extra copies last week when the price was still low.

I have uploaded a biographical chapter to my author page. Here's how it begins:

Chapter Three – a brief biography 

To this day, I hardly know how to explain why I founded, then lived and worked at Miriam’s House. Part of me wishes I didn’t have to explain at all. I wish my choice were as automatically understood as that of a wealthy business person who has risen to a position of power. Anyway, there’s no simple answer to the question, why did you want to?             

But in trying to sift through it for myself, I can think of no better explanation for having ended up at Miriam’s House than the simple fact that I was a child of great sensitivity growing up in the sixties. This as much as anything else – a middle-class up-bringing with my parents’ emphasis on discipline, hard work, honesty and trustworthiness – shaped me into the woman who eventually cast her lot with homeless women living with AIDS. Read more.

Please continue to get the word out on facebook, by email, and twitter. Wouldn't it be great if we could begin publishing by the end of the year? That goal is only 141 pre-orders away.

Have a great weekend -
