Synopsis:

My book entitled, The Velour Sweat Suit; Thoughts That Came to Me in My Minivan, is about Kate. Kate’s a new mom that does not really fit in to the whole velour-sweat-suit soccer-mom club. Actually she is just starting to figure out that there is such a club.

While other moms are busy loading up their over-sized SUV's with the biggest containers of mayonnaise imaginable, Kate spends her time doing off-the-wall things, such as; cyber-stalking an old love interest named Nathan, following a strange- but intriguing furniture salesman around town, and wondering how she is possibly going to get over the death of her father.

Kate also spends time helping a friend get through a stereotypical divorce (yet another affair with the young “hottie” at work)- she even drives her friend to the plastic surgeon to get her "new boobs" wholly funded by the no longer needed engagement ring. This makes her start questioning her own marriage and its ability to go the distance.

All the while her innocent cyber-stalking of Nathan leads to her becoming a local hero to the women in his hometown, a complete identity crisis in her own town, and a reunion with Nathan that she was not prepared for.

Biography:

I was born the fourth of six children into a very close-knit family- (sometimes too close.) We were raised to work hard, and always take time to go off the beaten path. I majored in English and finished college at Bethel University in St. Paul, MN. My time in the Midwest taught me the value of solitude- and that was invaluable when I decided to get married and work in Manhattan after graduating.

I worked in the Library Marketing department at Random House, Inc. for several years- I learned so much there- and fell in love with so many of the wonderful books we represented. A few of my favorite titles that I worked with were; Plainsong, Amy and Isabelle, and All Over But the Shoutin’. I left Random House to take care of my new baby and spend time with my sick father. 

Now I am a mother of three incredibly beautiful, active boys and that has redefined me- but it has not erased the person that I was before.
