Faye Westlake Newman is a free-lance writer and novelist who lives in and writes about Oregon, grateful every day for being planted in that beautiful, diverse state.Desiring companionship and support while working on her craft, and unable to locate a writers’ group that was a good fit, Faye formed a group that has met every week for up to three hours for the past 15 years. A total, to date, of six books have been published by members of this group. Summer Place makes 7. We look forward to making that more in the near future.
