Bio
Once upon a time this writer was a reporter/photographer and columnist for a large weekly newspaper in New York City, worked at the Center for Publishing at N.Y.U., worked at Kirkus for one whirlwind semester and eventually was an editor at Scholastic. After two very eventful years on cable television in New York City, this writer was voted off the island. Today this writer is a student and soon-to-be published author (all fingers and toes are crossed) living in reduced circumstances. She is ever hopeful and even though her stomach may rumble from time to time, she is usually somewhat reasonably well fed. Most importantly this writer is a recovering or former New Yorker, (recovering seems more apt), who is quite happily transplanted elsewhere. She blooms where she is planted. ************************ You can contact me at diaryofahopefulstarvingstudent@ gmail.com

Hope is not surprised as she witnesses rage against the cupcake.

Dear Lord, please help me to be understanding.  It seems to be my lot in life to be surrounded by pastry tossers.  First, you put Jemma in my path, and now Joy is having a go at the baked goods.

Hope smiles just a bit and tries not to betray her amusement.

When Jemma enters she catches the tail end of Joy's speech.

"Did someone mention tarts?  Would you like me to bake something for you?" Jemma says as she smiles eagerly, admiring Joy's beautiful kitchen.

"Oh, no, I wouldn't dream of it.  I was just mentioning how everyone seems to be baking cupcakes these days.  They're so common now.  But tarts.  Tarts would be really something," Joy says as she smiles and nods at Hope.

"Hmmmn.......tarts.  I like the sound of that," Jemma says.

"I rather thought you would," Joy says, smiling almost too much.
