Noteworthy Places &
Organizations recommended by A Novel Friend
The links on these pages are for friends of mine without
whom I would never have gotten to where I am today.
You can find links to some of my favorite links for writing
advice, networking, business and craft at “Writer
Resources.” This page is dedicated to the pages
of individual friends (some writers, others not),
businesses, music, and other sources of inspiration and
support in my life. Help me share the gift they’ve
given me by supporting them!

Inside many women there is a little girl who grew up
treasuring Black Beauty or The Black Stallion.
I’ve loved horses all my life and this passion lead me
to my first big by-line in an article reviewing their
work. I also write grants and am the current chair
of public relations for Bay State Equine Rescue.
www.newenglandequinerescues.com
This is an excellent horse rescue
network that works hard to find homes all over New England
for horses in need and to educate the public about the
welfare of equines.
www.rabbit.org
Rabbits are very special to me.
Miss Rhetta, my first rabbit, was a rescue and inspired
more stories than I’ve written yet. Before I could
take her home, though, I was told I had to memorize this
site; I’ve been a supporting member for 10 years now.

Helping kids and helping horses .... two
things I am all for!

Reneé is a fabulous photographer and has
accompanied me on several articles. She also runs
photo card fundraisers for equine rescues and does pet,
nature, and equine photography. Also, check out the
beautiful stained glass works by her partner (in more than
crime), Sean.

Dan’s been a close friend since college.
The music he composes is unique and beautiful, hinting at
the person “Behind the Face.”
Cruxshadows
Perhaps the band that has had the most
influence on my writing life: my favorite band, ever.
Positive, dark music – the perfect paradox. Not only
that, but all of the band-members are some of the sweetest
people I’ve had the honor to meet.

Kelly
A. Harmon used to write truthful, honest stories about
important and famous people. Now she writes lies, which is
infinitely more satisfying but lacks the convenience of
doorstop delivery, especially on rainy days. She also was
great to stay with during Balticon. :)
Fairy
Spa
Two friends, fabulous product, fantastic label,
naturally made, local business… need I say more why I love
these guys?
www.voltaire.net
A musician, writer, producer, animator,
businessman and artist, Voltaire is right up there with the
Cruxshadows as an inspiration. Not only do I love all
he produces, but I truly admire his ability to wear so many
hats and do so much – and still treat all of his fans with
great kindness and respect.
