Pride and Prejudice

Being a huge Jane Austen fan, and Pride and Prejudice ranking as my favorite of all her works, I have, of course, read the novel several times.  The book I acquired (years ago) is an antiquated volume, probably gleaned from my English Prof father now that I think of it, with beautiful period prints of the characters.  Mr. Darcy and his friend Mr. Bingley look like such pompous 'prisses' in them.  Very effeminate and not at all the macho Mr. Darcy we envision today after Colin Firth...

The Cranberry in Colonial America and Cranberry Apple Crisp

Information and recipe from The Good Land by Patricia B. Mitchell, a slender volume about Native American and Early Colonial Food.

Cranberries, called 'fen berries' by the early settlers from England, were quickly incorporated into the colonial American diet.  'Fen' meaning 'bog' accounted for that early name which gradually changed to 'craneberry' due to the slender curving stems of the fruit and then later to cranberry as they are known today.  The trailing evergreen shrubs which grow in...

Native American Historical Romance Novel Red Bird's Song

Red Bird's Song is the story of my heart for many reasons. It's the first novel I ever wrote, rewrote, and learned how to write in the process of all those endless revisions.

The initial encounter between Charity and Wicomechee at the beginning of the story was inspired by a dream I had on New...
