Ten Days With Dad was named a 2022 Finalist in the 19th Annual “Best Book” Awards under Autobiography/Memoir and Health: Death and Dying.

Mrs. Blake, my 5th-grade English teacher, encouraged me to consider writing outside of the classroom. She started me on this path and I’m grateful to her for launching a life-long passion. 

Growing up in Norwell, Massachusetts and sharing a house with my dad and two brothers was a special experience. Most of the time we didn’t know what we were doing, both literally and figuratively, but we found our roles and fulfilled them the best we could. I’ve remained true to my middle child mold ever since, which has served me well more often than not.
