I was thrilled to discover that I've been awarded a fellowship at Yaddo, an artists’ residency in Saratoga Springs, New York. Located on a 400-acre turn-of-the-century estate at the foot of the Adirondack Mountains, it provides professional writers, visual artists, composers, filmmakers and performers with uninterrupted time, space and support in which to develop their work. I get to spend five uninterrupted weeks working on my current book project in the full-fall-beauty of upstate New York. Gift from the Gods.
