Nonfiction from in & around Mattapoisett, MA. I raised my two children at the water’s edge – I first moved to Mattapoisett in January, 1979, then left the town to reside in a nearby town with even more coastal frontage, in August 1993. My daughter was born in New Hampshire, but my son was born in the south coast area and is truly a Mattapoisett native; he is my anchor-baby.  I am a Maine native and like my ocean blue-gray, cold and powerful – I’ve had to adjust my sensibilities to calmer, warmer harbors  in and around Buzzards Bay.
