You can read her short story Bread and Stone here:
For the curator of a writing website, you have a remarkably poor grasp on basic grammar. This page was created April 21, 2015, while the site originates on December 29, 2007. One would hope that after almost 8 years, you would at least be competent by now, as you are a writer yourself, but alas… For instance, “She hold’s a PhD…” is disappointingly wrong. An elementary school kid would know better. She holds a PhD. And again, “…president of Writer’s at Work.” Your complete inability to grasp the apostrophe is frustrating, to say the least. The organization is called Writers at Work, which you would know had you done any research whatsoever.
You can do better.
Apologies. And thank you for comment. WHC
