My days are filled with writing, reading, and being a mom. Some days, I get to visit schools around the country and talk about what it’s like to be a writer. I often feel like I’m pretending, because it’s still hard for me to believe it when I see someone holding a book that I’ve written.

On June 3, 2015, in keeping with a long tradition, I visited my home club in the Pepper Pike suburb of Cleveland, known simply as The Country Club. It’s an old William Flynn design and perhaps the most underrated course in America. It’s elegant, challenging and filled with old-world charm.

I love theatrical props: a cup filled with solid fake tea, say, or a collection of fake food, including a rubber turkey, which, during the holidays, I wrap in tinfoil so it appears to have just come out of the oven.
