Carolyn Westbrook evokes an extraordinary lifestyle and environment. From the feel of her 'Romantic Cottage' floral prints to the urban simplicity of 'White Linen,' her collection appeals to a wide cross section of people who appreciate the quality and feel of her timeless designs. Carolyn Westbrook HOME is all about 'Creating a Home that Reflects the Spirit of You' and I am confident that the licensing community will respond to her vision by expanding Carolyn's leadership in home and lifestyle design. |

I write a very rough first draft of every chapter, then I rewrite every chapter. I try to get it down in the first rewrite, but some chapters I can't get quite right the third time. There are some I go over and over and over again. |

It's all about letting the story take over. |
