About the Author:

At the age of seventy-one, Madeline Westbrook has completed this, her first novel, The Ghostwriter and the Muse - a labor of love if there ever was one. As a senior citizen with a new career, she divides her time between the family home in Houston and a small farm she and her husband enjoy. She likes to say she was born with a "book in my hand and a song in my heart."
