“Giving up the Ghost was the first novel I sold after graduation.  The idea for this book grew out of a chapter I submitted for my first workshop with Phyllis Root and Carolyn Coman, and was nurtured from an emotional standpoint by Louise Hawes that first semester when she encouraged me to write about my fears.”

“My time at Vermont College has been more than gratifying. It has been the most memorable experience of my lifetime and I will always count it as one of those major milestones. My life has literally been changed because of this program and it is difficult to express my gratitude sufficiently. I have made lifelong friends in the program, both among faculty and students, and it was a privilege to have passed this way. Whatever success I might encounter in the future will be directly attributable to what I've learned during my stay there.”
