About this author

A contributor to Spin-Off magazine, http://Weavezine.com, http://Cast-On.com, and host of the long-running podcast @ http://Craftlit.com, Heather Ordover's most recent adventure is as editrix of the new book series of essays and knit/crochet patterns beginning with the first book—What Would Madame Defarge Knit. Volume 2 has been released in digital format with paper copies soon to come. Her first novel is in the final throes of editing.

She lives, teaches, and writes in NoVa with her supportive husband, goofy sons, a cat, a few fish, and far too many devoted mosquitoes.

Diane He really is super, I agree, and I'd love to meet up at some future event, especially if it also involves dancing. :) The Trailing of the Sheep here in Idaho is amazing if you're ever in our neck of the woods.

Arlen does Burns very well. We have an annual Burns night every January and Arlen recites beautifully. He keeps saying he wants to record for librivox, maybe you'll finally push him over the edge.

Heh.
I can see why you require this of him. All that, and he can cook too! You have a winnah!
He's getting rave reviews already. Someday we'll all have to be in the same place at the same time so you can teach me some of my ancestors' dances (Go Clan Macpherson!).
Maybe we'll have Arlen do some Robert Burns for us in the future?
; )

Diane Hi Heather, and thanks for the add! I love your podcast! Maybe someday I'll even be caught up. I'm looking forward to hearing the section of Dracula my husband is reading for you. I love his accent, and frequently require him to read to me while I knit/spin/cook/paint my nails. ;)
