But best of all it offers an awareness that doesn't sound preachy and a small solution that can be practiced by all

Choosing to write an adult story next, Zimmerman's new book: It All Began With...THE WART...a humorous,challenging, mystery is about a handsome quirky,gay life coach in NYC, who inadvertently and unknowingly offends an old hag while riding the subway to his office. Prior to boarding, Robin Hoode bumped into his one floor down neighbor Morris, whom he nicknamed Morris the Cat Robin finds a similarity to a specific animal in all his friends and names them accordingly. When he sat down after boarding he got a case of the giggles and it turned out to be infectious. soon all were laughing, all but an old scraggly hag with a wart on the end of her nose that had grown hair so long it was flapping in the breeze. Soon the train came to a halt and before he knew what happened the old hag got right in his face shaking her arthritic index finger with crud under the nail and threatened he would be sorry for laughing at her,then disappeared before he could explain. Immediately Robin felt strange and his day became one of turmoil and fear. His choice to find her led him nowhere and soon , hungry and exhausted he stopped at the local saloon and grill.

Zimmerman's choice to write novellas stems from her own life experience juggling a career and family time. "It just wasn't worth it to curl up with a lengthy novel; I'd leave it often in the middle of a chapter and have to reread every time I picked it up." I am packing my stories with all the goodies to keep you reading from cover to covert in one good sitting."
