Mary Lowengard is a freelance writer based in New York City. Her first (though not her last) memoir, The Bucknoll Cottage Chronicles, will be available in paperback, eBook and audio formats in early summer 2023. She really did own a country cottage once upon a time somewhere in the upper right-hand corner of Pennsylvania. Originally published as a series of newsletter columns, these stories have been collected in order to spread the joy of the experience of owning a country cottage. Even if after six years you realize you can no longer afford it and have to sell it.
