I finished The Doves on 30 June 2009:  stopped making changes, diddling, froze the text.  I had wanted a complete draft by 30 June; instead, I had a completed book.  So my husband and I then went into town:  some bourbon for him, some rosé for me, some some meat and veggies and fruit, including two pounds of fresh figs.  I am surprised I have not yet eaten all of them.  Read more >

About Me: 

I blog at Somewhere Else to Go and The Woman Citizen, which started out as heavily military and defense policy oriented.  (They grew out of my first book, Women in the Line of Fire:  What You Should Know about Women in the Military, Seal Press, 2006).  Since, my work has become increadingly cultural and political, while I still maintain a serious interest in military issues.  I now write about what it means to be a woman and a citizen, especially in these dangerous times.
