She is currently hunkered down in the foothills of the Western Maine mountains, where she ameliorates her aversion to the long winters by ruthlessly editing the manuscripts of innocent authors, drinking tea by the woodstove with her dogs and grandkittens, and regularly subjecting her tolerant children to culinary experimentation.
