In this section of my blog, I will share pictures, memories, and messages that involve family, fishing, and fun, all of which are themes in my middle-grade novel. I plan to create a new post two Fridays per month, or more if I am so inspired. I hope you enjoy the posts, and please share a memory of summer vacation, cousins, or fishing with me using the form on my Contact Jill page. Tight Lines!

I received a message from a dear friend who shared her memories of fishing with her cousins. I have posted an excerpt here. It is precisely this feeling that is the central theme in my novel, which I hope to publish and share with you all one day very soon.
“As a girl growing up on LI I have many memories of fishing with my cousins. My mom took us on a charted fishing boat out of Captree, LI every year. She took my brother, me & our best friends who were also brother & sister. It was great fun with winners for first caught, biggest fish etc. it was even more special because my mother worked full time in NYC but took the day off each year to take us. We looked forward to it so much.”
