“All I can do is be me, whoever that is.” ~ Bob Dylan
Sometimes written with the commas (“Lay, Lady, Lay”) and sometimes without, “Lay Lady Lay” was released in 1969, on Dylan’s Nashville Skyline album. It was written for the movie Midnight Cowboy, but ended up not being included in the soundtrack.
I am the bestselling author of nine novels, including the Swiss Chocolate trilogy and VILLA DEL SOL, which won the 2018 Book Award in Literary Fiction from the Independent Publishers of New England.
My newest series includes the books A JINGLE VALLEY WEDDING, APRIL IN GALWAY, and ALL’S WELL IN JINGLE VALLEY.
Find my books online at Amazon, locally at Stillwater Books (Pawtucket, Rhode Island) and Ink Fish Books (Warren, Rhode Island).
