Leslie JAMISON, NY

“It was an absolutely enchanted week--from early mornings with coffee and the first bird songs, watching dawn break through the lush greenery of the backyard;to writing amidst the bright lizards in the back; i was able to make progress on the new novel that absolutely needed this kind of secluded and protected time"
