With thanks to Women on Writing for their publication of this piece! Abbie Rose Stone, the main character in my forthcoming novel, Hard Cider, is a serious knitter. She knits to express her creativity. She knits to spend contemplative time sorting out her life. She knits in the companionship of other women who share her interest. Two different knit shops provide prominent settings in the book. What starts as a minor plot element in Hard Cider, ends up becoming more important

Join me at 3 PM Saturday, October 13 at Horizon Books in Traverse City for a Hard Cider book signing!
