If you've been reading my posts for a while, you'll know that I've been awaiting a "writer's dream." No. It's not making the NY Times best seller list. This dream concerns . . .

At four o'clock this morning I caught the seven Pleiades sisters dancing. Why I woke with such alacrity I do not know. I didn't need to yawn, nor did I want to snuggle under the covers for a bit . . .

I thought I’d completed the process of writing a book when my memoir, The Scent of God , was published by Counterpoint, NY, this April. I didn’t realize that the most arduous part of authorship . . .

Not everyone has a writing shed. Nor has everyone received a "welcome to your writing shed" gift. Though such people might exist, I am not at all certain if anyone with a writing shed has received . . .

I live next to Lake Superior, the second largest fresh water lake in the world. Only Lake Baikal in Russia surpasses her -- not in size because Superior is 19,000 sq. miles larger, but in . . .
