An Interview with the Author

We were delighted to interview Arlene Duane Hemingway. We had a terrific conversation about Arlene’s background— she is an accomplished musician with a degree from Julliard. She is a retired public-school piano and vocal music teacher who then went into the healing arts and how she discovered the “art of drabbles” and how that led to A Twist of Lemon, her first book.
