Biographie:
Lucille's first novel, Like Wine, was a tribute to her mother and getting it into print before she passed was her goal. She considers Elizabeth's Mountain to be her true debut novel. When she was young, walking into a bookstore, with its new book smells and feels, was more exciting to her than a candy shop. She has lived most of her life in northern New Jersey and now lives in South Carolina with her husband, close to her two daughters and grandchildren. Lucille loves stories that lift her up and gratify her and where she can take a little of the characters inside of her and sometimes see herself in them....
