I love breathing life into my characters. I love it when I get a germ of an idea and get it down on paper. Most writers love what they do and I’m no exception. As of this writing we’re co-habiting nicely. I always know when she’s around because the five of them line up and look like they’re at a tennis match. I have this glorious front porch and during the warm months I see my swing moving early in the morning when the air is still and again late in the day. When the Azaleas are in bloom, and only then, I find blooms on my night stand.

She moves pillows from one room to the other and she stops all the clocks in the house at 9:10 in the a.m. They would slide off the table or counter or else they’d break in the dishwasher. It took me two weeks to figure out that she didn’t like my coffee cups. Mary Margaret as we call her, is “a friendly”. This ghost has been documented by previous owners. Unfortunately, I could not get my ghost to relocate.

Today it is beyond belief as are the gardens and the equally old Angel Oaks that drip Spanish moss. The dump was a 300 year old plantation house that is listed in the National Registry that I remodeled. The kids were all on their own at that point. I figured if I was going to go through trauma let it be all at one time. Several years ago I left Ballantine Books, parted company with my agent, sold my house in New Jersey that I had lived in all my married life and in 1993 moved to South Carolina. Guess what else! I wrote 99 books, most of them New York Times Best Sellers. Guess what, I don’t have that husband any more. As my husband said at the time, stupid is as stupid does. For some reason that didn’t intimidate me. Rather than face the outside world with no skills, I decided to write a book. I was also a voracious reader having cut my teeth on The Bobbsey Twins, Nancy Drew, The Hardy Boys, Cherry Ames and the like. I didn’t know how to do anything except be a wife and mother. When my youngest went off to Kindergarten, my husband told me to get off my ass and get a job.

I grew up, got a job, got married, had five kids. However, I answer to Fern since people are more comfortable with a name they can pronounce.Īs they say, the past is prologue. To this day, family and friends call me Dink, a name my father gave me when I was born because according to him I was ‘a dinky little thing’ weighing in at four and a half pounds. I became Mary when I entered the business world where first names were the order of the day.

Growing up in Hastings, Pennsylvania, I was called Ruth. I’m not sure she’s an entity either since an entity is something with separate existence.
