She has beautifully passed along the love of people who were strong and caring. Their lives are very real and Ms. Meyer has made these ordinary people extraordinary. If you love a good love story, do not miss these jewels. Share in the sharing." -- Brenda McCoy Reviewer for Coffee Time Romance Reviewer for Karen Find Out About New Books

I have loved writing for as long as I can remember. I have had articles and poetry published in numerous publications such as "Good Housekeeping," "Woman's Day," "The Christian Science Monitor," "Blue Mountain Arts," "The Courier Journal," "Leo" and "Louisville Magazine" to name only a few. I write a regular column for "Today's Woman Magazine" in Louisville, KY, and I do commentaries for Louisville's NPR station WFPL. I grew up in Louisville where I married my childhood sweetheart, Jon. We have been married for almost thirty-two years and have two grown sons, Ross and Matt. My first book, "Starting From Scratch" was released in February 2005, by Vintage Romance Publishing, LLC. It is an anthology of true love stories. All of the stories take place before 1969, and all of the couples are from Kentucky representing a combined 770 years of marriage. A feature story about my book and me was written by Katya Cengel, and appeared in "The Courier Journal" newspaper in February. I have appeared on WAVE television and WDJX radio to discuss my book. "Starting From Scratch" may be purchased at Amazon.com, and major book stores on line.
