Andrews works as a picture framer, but in her real life she is a
songwriter and author. She is a six-time winner of
National Novel Writing Month, and has been awarded an honorable
mention by Writers Digest for her short story "In a Shadowed
Wood."
Chicken Bones, her first novel, introduces racing champ
Marti Hansen, rock star Derek Hamilton, and hiker Zora Covell,
who team up with an enigmatic time-traveling alien to prevent a
vast wave of unnatural violence in the
universe. Can a song really save the future?
In A Windswept Star, the three humans and Zora's husband
Harry find their love, hope, and courage tested to the limit
when a renegade timeship takes its future into its own hands.
Past and present are more fluid than anyone imagines, especially
when mysterious alien gems enter the situation!

Kate Jacobs performed a book reading at the
Milford Knitting Club.
The Friday Night Knitting Club has been
described as “a charming and moving
novel about female friendship and the experiences that knit us
together—even when we least expect it.” The book has garnered
mentions in upcoming issues of Glamour, Redbook,
and OK ! magazine.
Here’s a recent review (from Booklist):
Georgia
Walker's entire life is wrapped up in running her knitting
store, Walker and Daughter, and caring for her 12-year-old
daughter, Dakota. With the help of Anita, a lively widow in her
seventies, Georgia starts the Friday Night Knitting Club, which
draws loyal customers and a few oddballs. Darwin Chiu, a
feminist grad student, believes knitting is downright
old-fashioned, but she's drawn to the club as her young marriage
threatens to unravel. Lucie, 42, a television producer, is about
to become a mother for the first time--without a man in her
life. Brash book editor KC finds her career has stalled
unexpectedly, while brilliant Peri works at Walker and Daughter
by day and designs handbags at night. Georgia gets her own taste
of upheaval when Dakota's father reappears, hoping for a second
chance. The yarn picks up steam as it draws to a conclusion, and
an unexpected tragedy makes it impossible to put down. Jacobs'
winning first novel is bound to have appeal among book clubs.
Kristine Huntley
Kate and her husband Jon now live in California, but previously
she was based in New York and worked at Redbook,
Working Woman and Family Life. The Friday Night
Knitting Club is her first novel.

A Japanese tea ceremony demonstration
was presented by
Kate Finnegan and staff from Kaji Aso Studio at the recent
TCTC Open House. Japanese tea
ceremony is a beautiful aesthetic and very meditative to
watch. The garden at The Cozy Tea Cart will provide a
wonderful atmosphere for this performance.
Afterwards there will be time for a short discussion and
questions and answers.
Kate Finnegan studied Japanese tea ceremony under the
direction of Mr. Kaji Aso for 26 years from 1980 to 2006.
She traveled many times to Japan with Mr. Aso to expand
her research about tea.
Mr. Aso had various experiences of tea ceremony school in
Japan. He sought the most original and ancient form of tea
ceremony to discover the true enjoyment of tea and true
enjoyment of friendship through sharing a sip of tea. This
vision of tea provides a wide understanding of life and
nature. Mr. Aso passed away in 2006 and at his request and
with her deep gratitude.
Ms. Finnegan continues hosting tea at Kaji Aso Studio’s
tea house, “House of the Flower Wind” in Boston. |

Made with Fimo
clay and fired in the oven, my jewelry tries to recapture the
spirit of my paintings. I play with the clay till I get the
color scheme that I want. I place the colors on the clay as I
would use the paint on a canvas Then I cook the piece and paint
on it with acrylics. The clay pieces have all kind of themes
ranging from birds to fish and women and cat theme I enjoy
experimenting with a different medium..When the pieces are too
big to be hanging around the neck, I frame them by using
colorful and eclectic frames with hand painted, acid free paper
as a background.
