An article I wrote about moms and daughters reading together titled “Eight Books Every Mother Should Read With Her Daughter” was featured in several magazines, including Calgary’s Child. Reprint rights are available.
Other recent articles include:

So I was thrilled to be able to contribute my own advice to parents in a September/October 2007 article on Mother Daughter Book Clubs.
I wrote a profile of pioneering Oregon winemaker Susan Sokol Blosser that appeared in the August/September 2006 edition of Edible Portland magazine.
